Are we really going to give the defense zero credit for that?
For the game, Arizona St got 17 points on 10 drives (not including the end of Half drive that was just a snap).
That's 1.7 point per drive for the Arizona St offense that game. Which would rank #108 in college football for the season, just between UNLV and Louisiana-Monroe.
But BYU got 27 points on 12 drives (2.25 points per drive which would rank #65 in offensive production, just ahead of Boise St).
BYU wins a game in which the offense performs at a Boise St level (statistically) and the defense performs at an Alabama level (statistically) and we all talk about how great the offensive players are/were
