Dick Harmon: BYU's explosive comeback just what the doctor ordered for Cougars

BOISE — Winning big can be so much darn fun.

It’s a reminder that BYU’s football team soaked in Friday after scoring 35 straight points in the second half to blast Western Michigan 49-18 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Albertsons Stadium.

It was just what the doctor ordered for BYU’s football program, exploding for touchdowns in capping a 7-6 season where most the time yards and points were difficult to deliver.

In this one, rookie Zach Wilson pitched a perfect game, completing a school-record 18 straight pass attempts for 317 yards and four touchdowns.
