insight about how to win at football that is not captured in Net Success. I also like this theory that defensive disruptions early save you from needing good stats later as the the other team playing from behind, etc. I would hate to think we are just a bad, lucky team, but, as the saying goes, "better lucky than good."

I personally prefer a different metric that is similar to Net Success, but also takes into account field position, special teams play, kicking accuracy, red zone performance and even official bias. By this metric BYU outperformed Baylor 34-28.
