BYU fans react to slow start, strong finish in first half against New Mexico State (plus some rivalry tweets)

Once again, the BYU Cougars started out slow on Saturday night before a strong second quarter allowed them to build a 31-7 lead over the New Mexico State Aggies at halftime.

Fans on Twitter were certainly unhappy at the start of the game as the Aggies found the end zone first.

Dang, I was hoping Tanner would get some playing time tonight.

With less than three minutes to go in the first quarter, however, BYU freshman Malik Moore picked off a pass, which set up the Cougars' first touchdown of the night.
