Spiff's Spots: UCONN Review

A small teaser:

Bronco improved to 23-6 (.793) against teams wearing a white helmet.

BYU is also now 4-2 (.667) in games against the American Athletic Conference (AAC) in the Bronco era.

After just four plays of 10 or more yards in length against Michigan, BYU had 16, including six of more than 20 yards.

BYU had the majority of time of possession. It was the third time this season. It took nine games last year to have the majority three times.

Tanner Mangum’s 35 completions are the most since Christian Stewart completed 39 against Nevada in 2014.

Mangum also had -9 yards rushing. His fourth consecutive game with negative yards rushing. The last BYU quarterback with negative yards rushing in four consecutive games was Kevin Feterik in 1999.

BYU won the Passing Efficiency Rating (PER) battle (126.41 to 97.90). The team with the better PER is just 3-2 (.600) this year, but is 9-2 (.818) in the last 11 games.

BYU is outscoring opponents 56-17 in the 4th quarter this season.

Tanner seems to have the ability to run but he's not a runner. I've gotta think he's been told that no positive rushing yards is worth the risk right now.

He's saving it for the big game.

If he has to sit out more than one or two snaps (in which Juergens could take the snap and run a read-sweep-option to bide the time), that means we burn a redshirt off of either Detmer or Hoge.

I am okay with that. We have a lot of QBs in the pipe line. I think that they are just so green that we don't want to have to go to them in a close game just yet.

Yeah, I didn't mean it as a slight at Tanner. Just one of those statistical oddities I noticed that really doesn't mean much.
