and quarterback rating while owning the 3rd highest PFF passing grade in the Big 12. The better news is that Retzlaff ranks ahead of every quarterback on the schedule in each of those metrics but one. Only KJ Jefferson (UCF) has averaged more yards per attempt.

“But the turnovers”, you might be thinking. Only 2 quarterbacks on BYU's remaining schedule have thrown fewer interceptions than Retzlaff and only Noah Fifita and Houston’s Donovan Smith have a better adjusted completion percentages. Sometimes, a game comes down to which team has the better quarterback. Jake Retzlaff has been that quarterback in each of BYU’s 5 wins, and if he continues that, I like BYU’s chances in every game they play.
