vs. Washington

Not sure about that. BYU moved the ball just fine against WA, out gaining them 473-319. Each team had one turnover. The difference was 1. BYU's utter inability to finish drives, particularly in the second quarter where they put up tons of yardage but had only one td to go with 3 field goals and 2. BYU's poor kickoff coverages. WA had a td from a kickoff return and one that was set up neatly by a long kickoff return. That's 14 points right there - really the difference in the game.

It was a frustrating game to watch.

That's been the story this whole season. Drive down the field, can't finish. Problem since game 1 vs. Virginia.

Kickoff coverage is random stuff, I don't care about that.

BYU's kickoff coverage that game was not random, just bad. Even the announcers were remarking how undisciplined it was and how everyone was out of their lanes. Kelly Poppinga deserves some blame here.

We outgained our opponents in 3 of the 5 losses this year. Majority of losses! This is frustrating.

Meaningless yards. You obviously are not a Cowboys fan. Cowboys do that every year. Rack up lots of yardage and lots of losses.

This year's offense consisted of sending receivers down field and then Taysom Hill scrambling.

Doesn't work in the red zone because the defense gets compressed. In the red zone you need a strong offensive line (ABSENT), and the ability to execute precision passes (ABSENT), and it never hurts to have the ability to throw to a tight end (ABSENT).
