Saying that when you are missing a ton of players, it's a good thing they weren't giving up big plays (and that is a strength of the BYU D)
The TV analyst kept saying "they really need to take a shot to the end zone" and they never could.
IF you're going to have struggles on D, if you can at least keep from giving up the big play, that's a good thing. (especially if you are already winning)
