It took eight minutes and two seconds for BYU football to get on the scoreboard during their week one tune-up game against FCS foe Portland State. Until the game clock reached the four-minute mark, Kalani Sitake's side hadn't breached the scoreboard. Deadlocked 0-0 with Portland State, BYU's offensive drives laid out as follows: punt, fumble.
Far from stressed, but slightly concerned after watching FCS Tarleton State take Army, an irrational but very present thought infiltrated the confines of my subconscious mind -- an intrusive thought broke through my mental defenses.
Four minutes remaining in the first quarter with an empty scorebug at the bottom of the screen.
