Winning doesn’t mean the offense is good. You should see a top 20 program called Iowa. They consistently win 9+ games in Big Ten. Is there offense good based on that stat?

When you are up by that much you are happy to give up long time consuming drives

Even with the score I think the ESPN win probably went up pre vs post drive

Forcing long drives at that point guaranteed a win.

BYU had a 6 play 75 yard TD drive which scored with 5 minutes left in the game. It put the game away.

It took them like 18 plays to get a field goal. We had a good drive to knock

You're right, the last 5 minutes of the game BYU seemed to struggle stopping AZ

Yes, the box score reveals some uneasy stats that shows the game was closer

Lots of garbage time yards and byu basically had three short fields

The game is never closer than the score shows. Don't overthink it.

BYU wasn't playing aggressive defense at the end. They knew they were up 3

Their long FG drive actually reduced their odds of winning according to ESPN

You know we were playing a lot of 3rd stringers on their last td drive right?
