      Utah is averaging 450 yards offense per game and only giving up 252.  That is 198-yard per game difference.  That is crazy.  I thought I would compare this to the 2004 team.  In 2004 we averaged 499 yards per game and gave up 343 for a 156 yard per game difference.  That was against MWC competition.  The difference in 2008 (against better competition) was only 111 yards per game.    I doubt we will keep up the nearly 200 yard per game difference, but I think it could be close.

      That is pretty crazy. That ’04 team was involved in a lot of blowouts that I’m sure skewed the stats somewhat, but still that’s impressive.

        The 04 team had a respectable defense, but not even close to what we have this year.

      Looking at other teams:

      BYU 1984 National Championship team had a difference of 164 yards per game (mostly bad WAC teams)

      Alabama this season has 192-yard per game difference

      Last year’s Clemson team had an amazing 242 yards per game difference.  I know that the ACC is not strong, but that is crazy.
