A huge difference between this years team, and the variations of the last three years... previously, these are the types of games BYU's teams have found a way to lose. Hopefully this year things change, and this is the closest call we get.

Offensively, I'd grade us at a B+. The two turnovers kept us from being an A. Defensively, I'd grade us as a D+/C-. We've got to learn to put teams down earlier and not let them think they can hang with us. Teams getting down by two or more scores against our offense is going to look like a huge uphill battle, hopefully our D can come out a little sharper next week.

To come away with a win on the road against a Pac-10 team with a -2 turnover margin, with a porous secondary, I'll take it. Not thrilled with the performance, but I'll take it.
