It could be worse for the Cougars, even having totaled 77 points during their seven-game losing streak. They could be the Kansas Jayhawks, who netted 21 offensive yards Saturday vs. TCU.
But people are wondering just how historically bad BYU’s season is, and how much worse it could become. The outlook will improve this weekend, when the Cougars host a San Jose State team that lost to Utah and Utah State by a combined 115-26 in September. Standing 1-7 for the first time since 1968, though, BYU is damaging the program’s brand.
If not for USU’s comeback from 14 points down at UNLV, the state’s three FBS programs would have a collective 13-game skid.
