Perhaps it was because of injuries sustained by the players who safety Tanner Wall calls “the heart and soul of our defense” — linebackers Isaiah Glasker and Jack Kelly.

Or maybe it was because BYU committed three turnovers and failed to finish a couple of drives with touchdowns instead of field goals in the 38-24 win over lowly West Virginia on Friday night in front of 63,917 at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Then again, it could be the fact that undefeated BYU’s schedule from here on out is considerably more difficult than it has been as the Cougars have built a 5-0 record, attained a No. 23 national ranking and extended their remarkable scoring streak to 31 straight quarters dating back to last season, a program record.
