Went nearly four hours of game time without a goal, while leaving at home one of the country’s best goal scorers. Took a 38-year old forward who didn’t play well, and an 18-year old forward who hardly played, while leaving at home a 28-year old forward in her prime and in form.…

What the committee should have said: “BYU’s strength of schedule is primarily a by-product of COVID cancellations by six P5 programs. BYU still scheduled 10 games and has so far won every one, by an average of 34 points per game. When we watch BYU, we see a Top 10 football team.”
