BYU has scored more points than the opponents' scoring defense in just two of six games.

BYU has allowed fewer points than the opponents' scoring offense in five of six games (with the sixth game being exactly average).

That's all fine and good, but you have to account for who these teams were playing:



Wazzou: EWU, UNLV, CU, Oregon, Or.St.

Weber State: Fresno St, McNeese St., EWU, UC Davis, Cal Poly

Utah: Northern Colorado, USC, ASU, USU

BSU: MSU, Miami (OH), Southern Miss, UNM

Hawaii: USC, Lamar, Nevada, SDSU

USU: SUU, Wisc, UNLV, CSU



When you consider the quality (of lack thereof) of the opponents, it is obvious that BYU's offense has been nothing short of abhorrent this season.

Very cool stats. Thanks Spiff.

I bet our run yards take a nose dive now. I doubt Riley will run much and Taysom is done.

Better fire up that passing game real quick like.

I bet we don't see too much of a decline in the running game. This hopefully means more carries for Williams and Lasike.
