Time to move forward, the good things from Saturday...........

BYU is 104th in turnover margin
74th in pass efficiency defense
115th in 3rd down conversion defense
80th in rushing defense
92nd in sacks
100th in tackles for loss
50th n 1st downs allowed
93rd in red zone defense

Those numbers are not good.

What were we before that game?

I am not going to throw the baby out with the bathwater yet and hope this one game was just an aberration. Granted is our defense great? No. But I am hoping that they aren't as bad as that one game showed. I don't think they're as bad as those current stats and the rest of the season will prove that.

In an effort to find solace, here are some SC defensive stats I found:

• No. 5 in the nation in rushing defense (51.0 yards per game)
• Giving up just 1.63 yards per rush
• Has allowed zero passing touchdowns (one of only seven teams in FBS to achieve that)
• Has allowed only two touchdowns total (both rushing TDs)
• No. 3 in the nation in tackles for loss (10 per game)
• No. 12 in the country in total defense (226.0 yards per game)
• No. 13 nationally in scoring defense (11.3 points per game)

Those numbers are good.
