for both the player deficiencies and the lack of offensive production. Keep us in games despite the fact that our OFFENSE scored only 13 v. Utah, 13 v. Fresno, 10 v. UMass, and 17 v. Utah St. (and offense gave up 14 points v. USU).

A more aggressive defensive game plan more likely gives up 24+ points to each of these teams and gives BYU absolutely no chance at a win. Instead, each game was within our grasp, if only our offense had a pulse.
