BYU's seniors lead the way in Poinsettia Bowl victory, 9-win season

These guys are the leaders and the reason why we were able to make the change from 1-3 and go off a string of wins. The guys played their butts off and they lead and they're great young men. I sat there and watched them take the team and they did it. Made me look good.

PROVO — It shouldn’t have been surprising that BYU’s 24-21 Poinsettia Bowl victory over Wyoming Wednesday night at Qualcomm Stadium came down to the final seconds.

The Cougars, who won eight of their final nine games to finish with a 9-4 record, lived on the edge for much of the 2016 campaign under first-year coach Kalani Sitake.
