It certainly would've been a different season. That being said, most of the lack of offensive production was due to coaching ... very poor play calling!

In the end, it was enough to win. But on the other hand, it almost caused us to lose.

BYU had 3 sacks, Utah had one. Utah averaged under 3 yards per carry. I think it was roughly even.

Utah shut our running game down, and though they might not have tallied a lot of sacks, their pass rush was extremely disruptive.

BYU had the most sacks against the Utes all year. Utahs O-line looked pretty good, BYUs D-line did enough to open holes for our LBs (all 3 sacks from LBs). Utahs D-line didnt make a ton of plays but once again held ground for the safeties and LBs to come up and stop the run.

I think it was pretty even.
