1. The State D was good all night. They missed a few opportunities, but it took double OT for BYU to reach their season average for points scored. They couldn’t get it in regulation. State held BYU to just 311 total yards. In today’s game, especially one that went to double OT, that’s ridiculously good. The NCAA’s leading rusher, Jamaal Williams, was held to 76 yards and 2.9 YPC. State also had 7 TFLs. Hats off to the D, they came to play.
2. The middle of State’s D got exposed a bit late in the game.
