We're trying to score points. That's the whole point of having an offense on the field.
When we're driving the ball down the field and give up turnovers, we miss out on chances to score. In other words, we score fewer points. The turnovers themselves cause our offense to score fewer points
When we give up points on turnovers (like two pick sixes), it's not just the points the defense scores, it's also the points our offense fails to put on the board.
Two pick six ints typically impact the score by more than 14 points. You have to factor in the points BYU didn't score on those drives as well.
There's a reason why turnovers are such a big deal. You score fewer points when you turn the ball over AND your opponent gets more chances to score points
