WVU football trailed 28-10 at halftime of their Friday night clash with BYU, which is far from an ideal scenario – but things could have been much worse if it wasn't a couple of West Virginia defenders forcing turnovers at crucial points in the first half.
The first big play came as the Cougars had the ball and were driving down the field with a 14-3 lead. With the ball on the Mountaineers' 17-yard line, BYU dialed up a screen pass, but senior linebacker Chase Wilson locked in on BYU freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier and read his eyes perfectly before snagging his pass in mid-air to give Bachmeier his first interception of the season.
