BYU Wins Second Game in Slugfest

In what was probably the most physical game of the season for BYU there defense played its best all season. In what turned out to be a defensive grudge match it looked like BYU was going to go up early, with what appeared to be a safety on an intentional grounding penalty in the end zone on a bad long snap. The referees ended up picking up the flag but BYU still had the ball deep in SLCC territory. It appeared the Cougars had scored a touchdown on this play.

The referees once again took points off the bored calling a hold against BYU. SLCC's defense tighten and kept the Cougs out of the end zone.

 

From this time on it proved tough sledding for either offense as both defenses brought their A-game this Saturday. Eventually BYU was able to get past the stingy Bruin defense to take a 7-0 lead. 

 

With the game 7-0 fight at the half BYU went to work to capture another score but failed on the extra point attempt to go 13-0.

SLCC would no go down with out a fight and managed to score and make the game 13-6.

The game remained physical with BYU making big stops when they needed to, and the Bruins refusing to let the lead to get any bigger. BYU made the stops when they needed to and were able to run out the clock.

BYU finished the regular season with a 2-3 record and will get a rematch of the opening game with the Utah Warriors this upcoming Saturday. The Bruins fell to 3-2 but will be the number 3 seed in the playoffs and take on the Spartans.
