Brigham Young University's football team ranks first nationally in offensive "success rate," an advanced metric measuring how often a team gains the yardage needed to stay on schedule on each down. Yahoo Sports reports the statistic reflects the Cougars' efficiency in moving the chains and sustaining drives.

The metric is used by analytics-focused observers to evaluate offensive effectiveness beyond traditional stats like yards per play. BYU's ranking comes during a strong start to their 2026 season.
