BYU has faced 3 elite defensive lines over 3 of the last 4 weeks and have allowed 13 total hurries and just 3 sacks. That has been the start of Jake Retzlaff’s marked improvement over last season, who has an adjusted completion percentage of 72.7% from a clean pocket with 10 TD’s and 3 INT’s (should be 11 but for some reason Retzlaff’s TD pass to Roberts was ruled a lateral).

Jake Retzlaff has been BYU’s offense this season. Through 5 games, Retzlaff has accounted for 71% of BYU’s total offensive yards and touchdowns this season. He has been excellent this season, hard stop, especially given where he was last season. Retzlaff currently ranks 6th in the Big 12 in passing yards, 6th in passing touchdowns, and 4th in yards per attempt. If BYU can develop a more consistent running back centric run game like they did last season, BYU’s best offensive football is likely still ahead of them.
