You can't say that BYU would have scored on those drives if we don't turn the ball over. You can say that TCU scored on all 3 of the punt plays that were blown. You just simply can't say that BYU scores on all of those drives. You miss field goals, You get FG's blocked. Yes they were missed opportunities but the free 21 points literally cost us the game.
You also can't say TCU wouldn't have scored on those drives if they were great punts. A lot of what ifs, if Nelson didn't turn it over inside the 20 repeatedly, if Stephenson didn't blow 3 punts, it's tough to say what would have happened.

TCU didn't drive the field on our defense once last night. I can say with pretty good authority that if those punts had gotten off cleanly and went an average yardage, BYU holds TCU out of he end zone on those possessions.
I don't understand why the defense has to fold like a cheap suit every time a negative play happens.
But they do.
TCU starts with the ball at the BYU 6 after the messed up punt play, and then score a TD in two plays. BYU couldn't even get them to 3rd down.
TCU starts with the ball at the BYU 47 after a Nelson pick. Thankfully TCU self destructs by commiting a penalty on 2nd and 10 at the BYU 32 forcing TCU to punt after running six plays.
TCU starts with the ball at the BYU 37 after an awful punt. THREE plays later they score a TD. Once again, zero 3rd downs.
TCU starts with the ball at the BYU 45 with 49 seconds left after yet another bad punt that netted 16 yards. TWO plays later TCU scores yet another TD. Obviously, zero 3rd downs again.
TCU starts with the ball at the BYU 38 after once again a craptacular punt play. The D really makes them work for it here, FIVE plays and a TD. Once again, zero 3rd downs.
So to recap, five times TCU started with the ball in BYU territory after terrible play by our offense and special teams and our defense picks up the team by giving up 4 TDs and forcing 3rd down only once. That's just plain soft.
