The Broncos started things off with the ball, but a Brett Rypien INT gave the Cougars the ball in short order and an even shorter field. After the refs botched a fumble (and subsequent Bronco recovery), BYU was able to get on the board to make it 7-0 Cougs. The Broncos couldn’t find a rhythm on the ensuing possession and punted the ball away, but the defense held allowing the offense a bit of a breather. When the O came back with a semi-short 52 yard field...Ryp and crew finally got something going and a 9 play drive led to an Alexander Mattison score.
