BYU vs. Wyoming: Score and Reaction for 2016 Poinsettia Bowl

BYU managed to stave off Wyoming 24-21 to win the Poinsettia Bowl from Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on Wednesday night.

With Wyoming driving for at least the tying score in the game's final minutes, BYU defensive back Kai Nacua intercepted Josh Allen to secure the victory.

He ensured that BYU didn't blow a 24-7 lead that it took at the beginning of the fourth quarter before allowing 14 unanswered Wyoming points.

BYU running back Jamaal Williams led the Cougars offense with 210 yards and a touchdown on the night, recording the second-highest rushing output in Poinsettia Bowl history, per the game's official Twitter account.
