Zach Wilson displayed his elite traits in first NFL win | NY Jets Film

Let me take you back. It’s September 7, 2019 in Knoxville, Tennessee.

Over 92,000 people gather into a deafening Neyland Stadium to watch the BYU Cougars take on the Tennessee Volunteers. The visiting BYU team is lead by their young sophomore quarterback, Zach Wilson.

Did this team from Provo, Utah really stand a chance on the road in this environment against an SEC opponent? And who is Zach Wilson? How would he rebound after a home loss to the Utes where he threw no touchdowns and two interceptions, including a brutal pick-six?

Picture this: The Cougars have the ball down 16-13 with 47 seconds left in the fourth quarter, facing first-and-18 at their own 8-yard line.
