STARKVILLE, Miss. — As has been the case all season, BYU struggled again on third downs on both sides of the ball.
While the Cougar offense converted on just 4 of 13 third downs Saturday at Mississippi State, the BYU defense allowed the Bulldogs to covert on 8 of 13 third down opportunities in a 35-10 loss.
“Again, third downs were the issue on one of the drives. There were a couple of third downs and we couldn’t get out of those,” said coach Kalani Sitake. “A lot of things to improve on still. I keep saying the same stuff over and over again.
