BYU Defense


I'm sure I'm not in the minority thinking that BYU's defense is horrible; however, I came across an interesting statistic. The numbers don't change my mind that our secondary is terrible, but it does give me slightly more hope for the season.

BYU allowed Locker the fifth lowest number of yards (62), the third lowest yards per carry (3.4) and the second shortest long run (17) even though he had his second highest number of carries of his career (18).

And here's an important number left out of the article, Locker has started 15 games. So what do you make of these numbers?


ps. I got these stats from Dick Harmon.

I read something similar as well. Our run defense is pretty stingy, its our secondary that is terrible. As long as we can keep the UCLA receivers in front of us, we should be able to control the game.
