Yeah, as frustrating as this third straight loss was, you could see a lot of improvements, especially on the offensive side of the ball.Not a perfect pass. Poor work by the receiver. Tough defense, and great reaction on the tip drill. This loss could be put on Taysom because of the pick 6 ... this loss could be put on the defense because of three long drives ... this loss could be put on the receivers for uncaught passes that should have been caught. Small things ... with some great play surrounding them. This team is in a bad spot right now, it will be a tough year and I hope they are bowl eligible at the end, but it should be an entertaining year with a lot of growth. The coaches and players have shown they can grow and improve. I like what I"m seeing!

It was under thrown and the defender touched it first. What was "well thrown" about it? That it was within five years of the receiver? That it had hang time? Im asking honestly.I think UCLA has a good offense, but not as explosive as this one. The defense really struggled with this one. All it would have taken is one stop on one of those 3 drives and BYU wins this game. Also the last tipped ball that ended up being intercepted was a well thrown ball, it was in Hifo's catch zone and was not a rocket, it should have been caught. Yes WV's good defense helped but receivers simply have got to start winning on these 50/50 balls like they did last year when Mangum was able to throw up jump balls and our Sr. receivers would win the battle on them.I think this improvement is in large part is due to the defense we faced this week vs the past 2 weeks. front 7 were completely different.BYU showed offensive improvement this game but still has a long way to go. Taysom and his recievers looked much better and the offensive line was much improved in this game. Having said that, the offense and Taysom Hill did enough to win the game, but the defense is what cost BYU the win today. Even with the offensive mistakes, the pick 6 and all BYU wins this game if they don't give up sustained TD drives of 88, 86, and 99 yards. Simple as that.
conversely, this was the first serious offense BYU has faced, and it didn't inspire much confidence in the defense....
