In close clutch situations - he actually played terribly for most of those games and only delivered in the last minute, which only mattered bc the BYU D had played so well.

Utah 07, Utah 09, UCLA 07, and Oklahoma 09 are ALL straight up defensive wins - in which our opponents scored a grand combined total of 55 pts - i.e. -

13.75 PPG.

We, meanwhile, totaled 74 pts - i.e. - 18.5 PPG.

So all of those wins are defensive wins. Nice finishes by Max in three of them, but all defensive wins.
