I was a little surprised to read posts and hear on the radio from the wrist slashers about how bad this game was. Take out the last TD and the game was a workmanlike grind-it-out 35-9 victory over a traditionally tough MWC foe. Never something to be upset about.

Our rushing game wasn't that great, but they were focused on stopping it. Our main rusher Unga averaged five yards a carry. We were able to get Fui some touches.

Hall was on target, though he didn't throw many long balls. It was nice to see Collie more involved. Hall's got a big problem with not feeling the rush from the left side. It was nice to see him with a great PER day after being so low lately.

Here is how BYU is stacking up in my SOS adjusted offense and defensive scoring stat.

Offense: #49
Defense: #32

Overall, about like we expected, though offense is doing a little worse. Offense has got to improve for the TCU game--primarily the OL protecting Hall.

I think we're probably not good enough to go undefeated against TCU, Wyoming, and Utah.
