What are our opponents averaging? How much does the number matter if both teams

There are a ton of different ways to slice it. Ultimately the only one that

Yes ultimately that's the case but other stats could show weaknesses.

But according to Riley Nelson, our defensive strategy for allowing teams to pick up 3rd and Long...

That's a blatant misrepresentation of what he said. I listened to exactly what he said on that show.

Isn't our offense ahead of our defense is nearly every efficiency measure?

That's probably technically true in general, but I doubt the effect is that big

This is true. It allows BYU to stay closer to more talented teams.
