BYU has struggled all season to stop running teams, especially mobile quarterbacks. They have survived off of turnovers. The offense has not had a lot of long drives. Yes, they have had some, but a lot of their success has been based on short fields. Luck is great but this is why BYU has not faired well in the polls compared to some other teams with one loss while they had none. They have never looked like a dominant team. They have looked like a team that could turn good fortune into success. Now a significant portion of that luck has ran out.</div> <div data-offset-key="amgdd-0-0" style="mso-line-height-rule:exactly; line-height:115%"> </div> <div data-offset-key="amgdd-0-0" style="mso-line-height-rule:exactly; line-height:115%">BYU has had a great season.
