BYU's mediocre season should not be laid at the feet of the defense.

Given that BYU likes to run and slow the game

Agree with this. BYU's defense has not been that good this season. Too many

I've been happy with the D since the adjustments made at Hawaii. Good post.

I agree with this. Dude has a case that he’s been pretty good.

I've never felt the D was near the offense in it's ineptitude over the past 3

Yup. We would be 7-2 right now if the offense was halfway decent.
