But go back and look at how BYU's 2021 offense performed against Utah's defense. We had the #4 offense that year according to FEI, Utah's defense was #18, and we still only put up 26 at home despite being +2 in the TO margin. The boxscore stats show we didn't exactly light them up, other than Utah couldn't contain Jaren's rushing ability.
This year, our offense according to FEI is #48, their defense is #16, and it will be @Utah. And while Jake has improved, he's still prone to turning the ball over in bunches. Jaren Hall was much better at protecting the football than Jake is. And Hall has better top end speed than Jake.
