BYU's defense was good in Lubbock, limiting Tech to two touchdowns in seven red zone drives and to season lows in points and yardage in games won.
BYU offense and special teams struggled, as reflected in the average starting field position margin--arguably the best stat to demonstrate how well a team plays complementary football.
BYU was -18 yards in ASFP at Texas Tech, the second-worst margin of the Sitake era (-21 yards at Texas in 2023; 35-6 loss).
When you're -18 or -21 in yards in ASFP, you're usually getting handled.
