“Case in point: in the regular season finale against USC, 25 different players recorded a defensive statistic. BYU’s defense was so banged up that it wasn’t just sending out second-string players. Third-stringers and walk-ons were going up against the four and five-star talent of USC, and still managed to pull off crucial stops to get the win.”
“In those five games, Tyler rushed for 567 yards, good for an average of 113.4 yards per game. He was also good for 6 rushing touchdowns in those games.”
“BYU quarterback Jaren Hall was sacked only six times in games against the Pac-12. The offensive line didn’t give up a single sack against Utah…. Utah recorded 37 sacks on the season — an average of 3.36 per game when you take out the BYU game. That’s pretty telling about just how much BYU’s offensive line dominated.”
“a 73.7 QBR is nothing to sneeze at. This actually gives Hall a better average QBR than every Pac-12 quarterback that BYU played against.”
“BYU was plus four in the turnover margin against Pac-12 opponents”
“Only Neil Pau’u repeated as the leading receiver in a game against a Pac-12 opponent, showing that there was never any problem if someone else needed to step up. Gunner Romney, Puka Nacua, and Keanu Hill were also top receivers in games against the Pac-12. It didn’t matter who was or wasn’t available — the Cougars were going to win.”
Put some respect on our coaches and what they accomplished this season!
