I actually think the effort against UCLA is far more impressive. Hanging a zero on someone is pretty nice. Again, our offense has already proven that it can score. Our D had really yet to prove itself. It gave up 17 to NIU, no? If we have one or two more games wherein the D plays well, then I could see the real excitement.

Things could have turned out different for BYU as well. You take away 6 of those UCLA turnovers as well if Hall, Collie and Unga had an off day and who knows what would have happened.

Given that anything can happen, I am really surprised that BYU fans here are thinking about the Sugar Bowl. most teams wind up losing a game during the season, even when they have it working on both sides of the ball. We are 3-0, not 8-0. Let's win a few more games and see what this defense really can do. I can see how the coach has a really unique role in keeping players grounded. Surely there are players on every team that keep looking ahead and losing focus on the game on Saturday.

Not to quibble too much, but I would argue the defense actually gave up three. Weren't both off of turnovers, or am I mistaken?

I have watched an unhealthy amount of football this year and there are only 2 teams that I have seen that I think BYU would not have a good chance at beating. USC and Oklahoma...yes I have seen LSU and Florida.
