PROVO — One of BYU’s goals this season was to get bowl eligible.
The Cougars accomplished that Saturday with a 37-7 win over Southern Utah. after the victory, they formally accepted a berth to the Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego on Dec. 21.
“I’ve never been in this position where we know this early where we’re going, so it’s a bit of a relief,” said coach Kalani Sitake.
For BYU (6-4), getting bowl-eligible was a source of motivation against the Thunderbirds.
