BYU looking for improved play inside the red zone, magnified by final drive in Boise State loss

Ravell Call, Deseret News

PROVO — In the end, BYU’s game against Boise State last Saturday on the blue turf came down to one drive, then one play.

When freshman quarterback Zach Wilson was swarmed under at the Bronco 4-yard line as time expired, the Cougars’ upset bid after was quashed and resulted in a bitter 21-16 setback.

“Heartbreak,” is how fullback Brayden El-Bakri described the mood of his team at that moment.

“There’s no other way to put it. It’s something that you never think would happen after you get the ball back and you go all the way down there,” he said.
