Finally the UTFL spring season is upon us and Get Off The Bench Utah is going to be back in full force. It didn't look like a spring game as the BYU Cougars kicked off the season against familiar foe Utah Warriors. They met twice during the fall splitting the two games and with the added in climate weather this looked to be another great match up.
The defense's started strong swapping four and outs several times as both offenses struggled to get the ball moving in the snowy conditions. The Cougars finally gained some traction with the short passing game.
The team moved the ball down the field with short passes and QB scrambles leading to this touchdown.
BYU held on to their 6-0 lead for most of the game. Coming close to scoring several times but the wet ball lead to fumbles and dropped passes that killed drives. Late in the second half deep in their own territory BYU was forced to punt the ball away. The slippery conditions took another toll with a low punt right into the hands of a Warrior defensive lineman. He made a spectacular catch on the line drive punt and was able to carry the ball deeper into BYU territory.
With the short field and messy footing the Warriors decided to pound away at the Cougar defense to reach the end zone. With under two minutes to play they punched it in tying the game at 6.
BYU's defense held strong on the extra point attempt to avoid last seasons week one heart breaking defeat. The offense went to the air and broke out the trick plays in an attempt to score. Despite the success on the trick play BYU was unable to find the end zone leaving the games final score a 6 all tie. So in three games against the Warriors BYU is 1-1-1 and starts the spring season 0-0-1. Next week BYU will be playing at Lakeridge Jr. High School in Orem with a 1pm kickoff against the 0-1 Falcons.
