BYU stopped drives and frustrated opponents in its turnovers. They create panic and made teams one dimensional and limited play calling in its defensive points.
The turnovers is the reason because the offensive numbers are not good.

SMU is the only game I was worried about losing at any point in the 4th quarter.

Baylor was down by 6 with the ball and had put together some great drives

Against Baylor we couldn’t buy a stop without the last minute turnover

Here is the issue with his logic

3rd down percentage is not related to TO though, and he is right that we need

I agree but ARod has said multiple times that in 3rd the play calling may

3rd down becomes less relevant if you go for it on 4th down and get a first.

Didn’t we have several 3 and outs as well?

While I agree, a good defense makes me much more comfortable than a good offense

2 things impact that: an aggressive D trades TOs, sacks, hurries for higher 3rd

Hopefully the defense gets fewer TOs so the offense can get a chance to improve

the big thing I think we've missed in analysis is experience of the qb's

I agree, especially on defensive stops on 3rd down. Against AZ we struggled
