To be fair...
...BYU had a decent first half (aside from the pick 6).
The first half is when BYU had their chances and didn't take advantage of them.
That said - you are correct that the final stats - including Moss' rushing yardage and average - do not reflect BYU ever being in the game. Utah controlled the LOS during the second half. It wasn't close. But that doesn't mean that BYU didn't have a good 1st half and cause many of their own problems. Unfortunately, as we learned last year, there are two halves to a football game. And winning in several statistical categories at the end of the 1st half is pretty meaningless if you don't win the points statistic at the end of the game.

Here’s what I don’t get. People keep saying “take away the three turnovers and it’s a close game”. Well of course!

Okay. But if "we're expected to lose" to Utah indefinitely, I'm not happy. Further, it's unacceptable. Period.
