BYU has given up 28 points directly off kick/turnover returns, plus a TD on a turnover on an INT return to the 2
So that would shave 5 ppg off the totals right there. That being said, the defense is still not doing well.

I still see lots of posts that want to dismiss the struggles of the defense with

Those numbers will automatically be adjusted with the back end of the schedule

Our D only allowed 21 against Toledo.

Right. Not great against them

It's true. Look at 2014. They had a few low scoring games to help an otherwise

The crazy thing is when a team allows 29 ppg, they usually have several games where they allow 40+

It looks like its by design. That is what is maddening.

It's the offense job to win and the defenses job to not lose, at least it seems

BTW, 29.7 ppg would have been 81st in the nation last year. So when saying "historically bad" that's a bit hyperbolic

Irrelevant. It's still the same point.

It's a bit hyperbolic because it is a mid-season metric compared to full season

The Bronco years got us all accustomed to great defenses & meh offenses

I agree it was very good most of the time on Lavell's teams

Those defenses coincide with Fred Whittingham

It was by the late '80s that LaVell's defenses took a step back and were only

Our offense also gave TD’s to Toledo and Washington. Might want to factor that.

Historically bad?

I agree that one was worse. But the offense was also scoring way more points.

What is the points per game in regulation, omitting Overtime from the equation.

You'd have to delete the following

Which puts you right at the magic 24 point number that Bronco calculated.

Everyone agrees they aren't good enough on offense...

Our defense has allowed fewer points per drive than the opponent’s average in regulation in every game except Washington

This is spot on. Our defense played well enough for us to beat Toledo and USF.
