SpiffCougEach week, I'll be showing how BYU is doing compared to our opponent's average offense and defense. What I do, is look at the season stats for our opponents, remove the stats from the BYU game and see how BYU compared to the rest of the opponent's schedule.
Lines in blue are ones where BYU is better than average. Lines in red are ones where BYU is below average. Remember, on offense you want to be above average, and defense you want to be holding opponents below average.
