It’s been scientifically proven that stats are less fun after a loss, and the stats from the Cal game sure aren’t very fun. Nevertheless, we will trudge forward and break them down for you.
QB Contain
Just one week after bottling up Khalil Tate, Cal’s quarterback duo of Chase Garbers and Brandon McIlwain ran for 119 yards, averaging 5.67 yards per carry. Contrast that with BYU’s rushing game, that — excluding sacks and the end-of-half kneel down – only amassed 107 yards total.
Possession Offense
BYU had 7 consecutive drives that were 3 or fewer plays.
