Here are Utah's season averages (from utahutes.com):

points/game - 33.8
total yards/game - 392.3
rush yards/game - 171.0
pass yards/game - 221.3
avg yards/play - 5.6
rush avg/play - 4.3
pass avg/play - 7.5

Here are BYU's stats from byucougars.com) for comparison of both offenses:

points/game - 36.2
total yards/game - 443.9
rush yards/game - 129.1
pass yards/game - 314.8
avg yards/play - 6.4
rush avg/play - 4.0
pass avg/play - 8.5

BYU has an offense that overall produces better numbers, but Utah's numbers aren't as bad as we seem to think it is.
