Great stats, Spiff. Thanks for sharing this every week. I think it gives a much better picture of how the team is doing over all than just about any other stats.

Yeah. I was disappointed to see that too.



And the defense's streak of holding teams below their scoring average and total offense average is gone too. We've only held teams below their rushing average in every game this year. Of course that can change as teams may put up other numbers in remaining games that will make the BYU effort better.

Love it. Great work spiff.
