SpiffCougHere is the RER for the MTSU game with season RERs in parentheses.
Lasike: -200 (-24.93)
Pritchard: 133.60
Apo: 179.80 (107.71) - his highest game since GT last year
Falslev: 326.80 (147.31)
Ridley: 205.00 (72.96)
Matthews: 231.60 (107.34)
Thompson: 226.00 (135.33)
Thornton: 150.40 (18.80) - his first catch after 7 incomplete targets
RBs: -33.20 (40.58)
WRs: 209.20 (92.81) - highest for this group since I started counting them by position groups.
TEs: 150.67 (90.22)
- Opponents are converting 25.7% on 3rd down. The previous best 3rd down defense for Bronco was last year at 26.5%.
- On 3rd & Long (7 or more), opponents have converted 2 of 35 opportunities. BYU has converted on 10 of 40.
- BYU has 1229 rushing yards through four games. The previous best four-game start was 629 in 2002. (At least as far back as my data goes at this point, which 1995).
- BYU's previous best 4-game stretch was 1,113 yards rushing during the 1996 season.
- BYU had 3 (or 5 - depending how you want to count the saftey) points off of turnovers this year. At this pace, it will be BYU's fewest points off turnovers by a wide margin. The previous fewest under Bronco was 69 in 2007.
- The team with the better PER has now won 24 of the last 26 games.
- BYU's PER vs Middle Tennessee was 141. 41. The Cougars have not lost a game when meeting the 135 PER standard since losing to Florida St in 2009 with a 169.29 PER.
- BYU is 54-4 (.931) when meeting the 135 PER standard.
- BYU's 9 turnovers and 32 penalties may seem ,like a lot. But BYU started with 36 & 9 in 2012; 21 & 11 in 2011; 28 & 12 in 2009; 38 & 10 in 2007 and 33 & 10 in 2005. Penalties and turnovers to start a season has be a recurring theme under Bronco. Even 2006 started with 34 & 6.
- Opponents are averaging 6.5 3-and-outs per game. The previous best under Bronco was 4.9 last year. (I'm defining a 3-and-out as a series that ends before three plays run on a turnover or 3 plays and a punt. So the safety last night, counts as a 3-and-out, in my book).
