Jay Hill isn't messing around.

From one of my stats interns, @MattingleyTyler:

BYU opponents have had more drives end in a turnover than touchdown or field goal (18% TO; 14% TD, 14% FG).

No, but I think it will be more about how teams game plan against us

Why “No?” The available evidence suggests otherwise.

Especially considering that BYU has had a pretty high strength of schedule.

Well. They did for one season at least. Back in the MWC tho.

I don't know but a defensive foundation is far more sustainable than offensive

How about this one - defense travels

The greatest show on turf is probably the team that comes to mind.

How’d that go against a very young Tom Brady

Same way it went for most teams against the best team in history.

Exactly, solid offense extremely effective defense = elite team

Even if Washington played us and beat us, we were still a championship caliber

Theres going to be at least one game where the defense struggles

There already was one: Baylor.

"struggling" is forcing 2 turnovers, 2.3 yards per carry, and 56% pass comp?

If Oklahoma St installs new QB, it could get beautifully ugly for OSU on Friday.

Oh? Fumbles aren’t a thing in your reality? Also, 1 dimensional offenses aren’t

Interestingly there were 3x as many fumbles than interceptions in NCAA last year

OSU is second to last in Run Offense in the Big-12. And Colorado doesn't try.

Blue Ghost

Oct 17, 2:31pm

That’s probably because OSU has been holding back their full run playbook

I'll take it. Ok St defense sucks.

I got you. Took time to get my slide rule out of my cargo shorts.

No - that's not what most likely means

Although I disagree, I thank you for your response.

After thinking it over, there's more truth to your point than I realized

I was sure that being drug through the front door would be an outcome.

You should start a new thread with this post. It's really interesting data - I think more would like to see it.

If there are more than 2 outcomes, most likely can be less than 50%.

This is a killer stat. Great job.
