BYU vs Opponent Averages Thru Week 12

[SpiffCoug]

Thru Week 12

It’s now a win streak! In what was one of the coldest games I can remember attending at Lavell Edwards Stadium, BYU summarily dispatched the UNLV Rebels 45-23.

The cold also go to both teams as UNLV’s last score came with 1:57 remaining in the 3rd quarter, and BYU’s was just 0:19 seconds later. The teams combined for seven punts and kneel down the rest of the game.

So let’s see how BYU is doing compared to opponent season averages. As always, I'm comparing the BYU game to the opponents' season averages (with the BYU game removed from those calculations).
