BYU's defense can make some big plays here and there, which is what caused a couple of the turnovers. They struggle a lot more with playing against good pocket passers. I thought they mostly played pretty well against ECU's running QB who couldn't pass well. Also, had Mangum not gotten hurt we likely would have been able to keep ECU's offense off the field more. As soon as he went out our offense couldn't stay on the field, which gave ECU a lot more opportunities. The defense isn't going to be great this year. It's a little better than last year's awful defense. I think it can still be adequate enough to win games as long as we can keep Mangum out there.
