PROVO — Two red-jacketed Poinsettia Bowl officials couldn’t wait to get to BYU’s locker room and give the one sure identifiable team their official San Diego spiel after BYU’s 37-7 win over Southern Utah on Saturday.
The win lifted the Cougars to 6-4, qualifying BYU for a bowl trip.
After a rare day game in Provo, Poinsettia Bowl executive director Mark Neville and bowl president Ted Tollner said they’d watched BYU football all season long and certain characteristics stood out.
Neville said BYU’s last-second nail-biters made him go bald.
“They never quit,” he said.
