PROVO — Check out this week's college football statistical rankings and they simply confirm BYU's colossal struggles on the field this season.

The numbers are uglier than a lanced boil.

Out of 129 FBS teams, the Cougar offense ranks among the worst in the nation in several categories, including No. 127 in total offense (221.8 ypg); No. 126 in scoring offense (9.8 ppg); No. 125 in passing efficiency (93.70); No. 123 in rushing offense (77.5 ypg); and No. 121 in passing yards per completion (9.62).

At a place known for its All-American quarterbacks and high-scoring offenses, those offensive rankings are downright offensive.
