The BYU football team clashed with the Utah Utes on Saturday in the Holy War: 2016 edition. Here’s what we learned from the game.
Defense leads BYU football
In its previous four games against BYU, Utah had just two total turnovers. On Saturday, the Cougars forced four turnovers in the first half alone, and six altogether. It should have been more than enough to win the game (especially considering the defense only allowed 13 points), but that’s not how it played out.
If we exclude the pick-six to open the game (a play in which the defense wasn’t involved), the Cougar defense is allowing just 14.
