Missed tackle at end of 3rd on Bernard prevented the wheels from coming off

BYU had just scored. Utah was backed up and LES was going crazy. It was 3rd and long and rather than a huge TFL Bernard spun out and gained 50 yards. I feel like if we make that tackle it turns into a blowout.

Probably already discussed, but the 2 turnovers in the first quarter on Saturday

They were both extremely huge. Almost all turnovers always are

Agreed - they also had two turnovers on downs!

2 TO, 2 TO on Downs, 2 Missed FG, 2 Punts. Only 3 scoring drives: 1 FG, 2 TDs!

I think they got into the head of the offense. Brewer specifically.

He looked rattled for sure from start to finish misfiring on easy throws

The fumble, and a later loose ball that was called down, totally killed their confidence in one RB.

They ran time off the clock.

How long before Utah passed the 50 due to those TO’s? It was 2nd quarter I think.

The first two turnovers weren’t that meaningful, IMO. It was the third turnover (on downs) that was critical.

Now lets hope the D can force a few more against ASU

You’re forgetting the biggest factor… it wore down Utah’s defense.

It also kept their best running back off the field for much of the game

I loved how Utah was inches away from disaster throughout the game

Great point. Half a step one way or the other makes a huge difference.

They were huge. Points would have been awesome but it kept Utah off the field
