BYU football grades: Decent mark for the defense but offense too poor

PROVO — BYU didn't provide much inspiration during Saturday's 7-6 loss versus visiting Northern Illinois, particularly on the offensive side of the ball. Offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes' reverted back to form, after showing a lot of life two weeks ago in a 49-23 win over Hawaii, leading to yet another poor grade for that unit.

Grades are in for every unit's performance in a loss that very much puts BYU's bowl aspirations in serious jeopardy.

Freshman Zach Wilson went 18 of 30 through the air for 203 yards and a killer interception that all but ended things in place of directing the offense down the field for a game-winning score.
