BYU Receiving Stats from Air Force Game

Written by:

Of course BYU pretty much laid the smack down on Air Force last weekend. BYU’s pretty much in the driver’s seat to win the Mountain West Conference. That’s great for me since it is very likely that BYU will get the Las Vegas Bowl for their bowl bid. Finally, I’ll be able to see BYU live in a bowl game. I’m definitely going this year. All I had to do was get my wife pregnant so that we couldn’t leave town and had to be in Las Vegas for the Las Vegas bowl. Sure, it’s not over yet, but I think that it’s nearly a lock for BYU in the Las Vegas bowl. Good news for me. Good news for BYU. Great news for the Las Vegas bowl. Should be another sold out crowd. I wonder who we’ll see in the Las Vegas bowl.

Well, I was taking a look at the receiving stats for the Air Force game.

Talk about spreading the ball around. Also, it seems like something is wrong with the stats. If you look at the average yards per receiver no one had less than 5.7 yards per catch. That’s huge considering BYU is all about the dink and dunk. It’s been great watching the football team this year. Wait, I can’t say I watched them. They haven’t really been on TV. Screw the MTN and not being able to see BYU games. Even my wife hasn’t heard me talking about BYU winning. Why? because I haven’t seen it. Oh well, maybe it will be better next year.
