BYU Takes Down Falcons

After dealing with playing in snow for two consecutive games BYU was happy to play on a sunny afternoon. and the offense didn't disappoint in the great conditions. BYU jumped out to an early lead on this pass.

Meanwhile the Cougar defense smothered the Falcons offensive attempts and kept them from getting a single first down in the first half. Great open field tackling kept the Falcons from getting any traction. Giving the BYU offense a short field to work with.

Last season the Cougars lived and died with the pass but with a renewed emphasis on a balanced attack they found the end zone on the ground to take a 12-0 lead into the half.

The Falcons kept the game close with the Cougars missing the extra-point attempts and the BYU offense being bogged down by an ever muddier field. The Cougar defense though didn't miss a step in the second half as they swarmed to the ball stifling anything the Falcons threw at them.

With memories of the Falcons near comeback last season the Cougars went out to slam the door shut on any hope remaining for the team in white. BYU went to the air to seal the deal and finally connected on a long bomb that knocked the Falcons out of the contest.

BYU improved their record to 1-0-1 and the Falcons fell to 0-2. The Falcons open up UTFL week 3 action with a 9 am contest against the Spartans and BYU will get a rematch of last season championship game against the Iron Wolves (formerly Black Knights) at 1 pm.
