game, however, is more representative of what I think is a median game for BYU. Can we play much better?
Yes— see games 1-3.
But which game is more representative of the kind of play we are most likely to see from our team over time? This one.
Zach isn’t always going to be able to hit everyone, the OL isn’t always going to be dominant, the DL isn’t always going to be able to get pressure without any help, and opposing QBs aren’t always going to continually miss open guys running downfield.
Most teams will find the wide open man and be able to block our DL. Most teams will find a way to pressure Zach and slow down the run.
The first three games are the outliers, IMO.
