Takeaways from BYU Football’s loss to Boise State

It was a game of missed opportunities for BYU Football. Especially opportunities to find the end zone.

At least Skyler Southam got plenty of opportunities to use his leg.

The Cougars had plenty of opportunities to score touchdowns, but could only come up with one in the 21-16 loss to Boise State.

BYU was able to stay in the game, and looked night-and-day better on offense aside from stalling multiple drives within the red zone.

Before the game we posted our three keys to the game, which were:

  • Air it out
  • Protect Zach Wilson
  • Disrupt on defense

The Cougars did fairly well in all three categories, but three turnovers, three stalled drives in the red zone, and a whole lot of special teams miscues cost the Cougars.
