Most games come down to the final minutes and could have gone either way.

The streak by the numbers

Everyman

6/9/21 3:04pm

Bradley's knee was down.

CopperLix

6/9/21 3:07pm

We won the turnover battle in '16?

paulb

6/9/21 3:08pm

Yes, Utah coughed up the ball a ton that game. Our offense was just completely

Kavorka

6/9/21 3:11pm

Didn't help that Jamaal got injured

rggee

6/9/21 3:11pm

Very true. And we had two DBs get tossed for garbage targeting calls on back to

Kavorka

6/9/21 3:14pm

Just went back and watched the plays. Such garbage calls.

I’m still mad about the crappy two point play

I'mBatman

6/9/21 3:23pm

Everyone in the stadium or at home knew the play they would run.

Everyman

6/9/21 3:45pm

and it still almost worked.

Most of their TOs that game took points away from them, but didn't result in points for us.

Turnpike Lane

6/9/21 3:12pm

Unreal to have outgained them offensively four times during the losing streak.

Kavorka

6/9/21 3:09pm

Helpful to also look at the score for each game to see the margin of victory. So

BYU-LawMan

6/9/21 3:17pm

So Utah it better at getting turnovers or is lucky?

TomPetty

6/9/21 3:21pm

High pressure D = better

Turnpike Lane

6/9/21 3:25pm

Thiamine disagrees

mudpupper

6/9/21 3:32pm

BYU crapping their britches = lucky

Marc Spector

6/9/21 3:28pm

I don't know what the true numbers are, but it feels like a pick-6 happens

CougarGM

6/9/21 3:28pm

The former. I watched one of their games last year, and the announcer said

Everyman

6/9/21 3:30pm

probably both, and Whit's deal with the devil

BYUALWAYSNUM1

Wonder what the odds of Getting 6 turnovers and losing are

cougfanz

6/9/21 3:33pm

need to add the final scores as painful as that may be.

Pangare

6/9/21 3:44pm

Done

Everyman

6/9/21 3:49pm

Thanks....and it was painful.

Pangare

6/9/21 4:12pm

Man. Painful. 2015 and 2016 are vomit-inducing while 2011 makes me

BYU-LawMan

6/9/21 3:53pm

Defensive TD's are MIND BLOWING.

COUGZ

6/9/21 3:56pm

yeah. I think that is our guys letting them get into their heads.

Pangare

6/9/21 4:15pm

Thats silly. Its no coincidence. Its coaching, talent, and execution.

Backcountry

6/10/21 11:34am

Actually it is mental. Utah doesn't have close to that number of defensive td's

palangi

6/10/21 1:22pm

In 2019 alone, they had 3 defensive TDs against PAC 12 opponents.

Everyman

6/10/21 2:05pm

One or two is luck. Doing it every year for 2 decades isnt.

Backcountry

6/10/21 2:17pm

I never said it was luck I said it was mental. Utah doesn't have that level of

palangi

6/10/21 4:45pm

6 turnovers and BYU still can’t win. Smh

Princepete

6/9/21 4:13pm

Out of 36 quarters played during the streak, how many quarters did you lead?

Yergensen

6/9/21 4:26pm

BYU held the lead for the majority of 8 quarters. 22%

UnicycleUte

6/9/21 5:14pm

Leads by quarters is misleading. BYU doesn't show up until 2nd quarter at best.

CougarThug

6/9/21 5:18pm

My calculations are based on minutes played.

UnicycleUte

6/9/21 5:52pm

I’d be interested in knowing how many other Defensive touchdowns did all other

2010 and 2011 results:

I think after 4 years it became a mental block, find ways to lose.

LEDSFW

6/9/21 7:10pm

It was a mental block LONG before the streak. We play tight. They play loose.

What I despise is yewts acting as if they’re so above us when in reality almost

BleedCougarBlue2

6/9/21 11:13pm

Most games have not been agonizingly close. False and uninformed narrative.

Backcountry

6/10/21 10:57am

Uhhh.....the score is the score. Maybe not in your world?

BleedCougarBlue2

6/10/21 11:12am

The score is a small part of the big picture

Backcountry

6/10/21 11:26am

Most games come down to the final minutes and could have gone either way.

Only recently has Utah been much of a favorite in Vegas point spread

TomPetty

6/10/21 12:56pm

Utah rarely blows teams out. The play tough D, force turnover, and play a run

Backcountry

6/10/21 2:19pm

"rarely?" Uh, wrong. If you have a game ending field goal to win or you are
