your headline will be off. My prediction in that scenario is that the headline would say’ “BYU defense carries team to exceed expectations in 2025; Retzlaff improves to be a reliable game manager that didn’t neutralize BYU’s defense.”
….which I’d be fine with because it’s a team game and they can make some changes in the offseason on the offensive side of the ball to elevate it to where the defense is for next year without having another terrible season this year.
