The crazy thing is that BYU's depth is better this year –reason why they won 10.

Yeah, the team has been slammed with injuries (7 of the starting D players have been out). But, the depth behind them has been better than in years past and that is why they were still able to win 10 games.

Few, lose 7 starters on 1 side...and when they do they don't go 10-2 usually

Honestly that's the biggest difference between P5 (at least the lower levels of P5) and non-P5

It starts by not having the D play more downs than needed. A scheme and mindset

They aren't the same team at all. I didn't even know some of those players on defense were on this team at mid season.

Injuries on defense are a big part of it. We don’t have the depth of P5 teams.

BlooCoog

To be honest, given how depleted they are, I thought they stepped up when they needed to in the last three games.

This is a team that has scratched and clawed in the face of serious injury
