BYU turned the ball over the first five times it had the ball, with freshman quarterback Tanner Mangum throwing three interceptions and fumbling once.
‘None of us voted for Philippines’, Miss Universe contestant claims
Harveytook to Twitter to say: “I’d like to apologise wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”. Only problem was that she didn’t win – Miss Philippines was the actual victor , and Gutierrez was the first runner-up.
This will be our 11th straight bowl game and I’m definitely looking forward to coaching this team one last time as we take the field in Las Vegas striving to achieve our 10th win of the season. Williams rushed for a game-high 91 yards on 25 carries for Utah (10-3), including 26 yards on five carries that produced two first downs on a game-clinching final drive that ran out the clock after BYU (9-4) had scored 28 staraight points after falling behind 35-0 in the first 10 1/2 minutes.
Spain’s PM Rajoy to meet Socialist leader over potential pact
If the candidate is not immediately successful, Parliament has two months to elect a prime minister or call a new election . The only combination that would have a clear majority would be to join forces with the Socialists in a grand coalition .
By the time BYU got a single yard of offense, Utah was already up 14-0, and running away with the game.
The next drive, BYU was moving the chains, but Magnum threw yet another interception and again, it was Carter who picked him off. This time he returned it 33 yards to the 1-yard line.
Arizona’s Anu Solomon threw for 329 yards, Baker finished with 107 yards rushing, and Cayleb Jones had 182 yards receiving and a score.
Those turnovers skewed a first half in which Utah couldn’t do much on offense. Utah punter Tom Hackett, a two-time Ray Guy award victor, laid waste to the Cougars at a pre-game ceremony, saying the Beehive State belongs to the Utes, and not “the bastards from Provo”. But the quick succession of turnovers – Utah scored its first four touchdowns in a span of 3:30 – threatened to turn the game into a rout before BYU settled down.
QUOTABLE: “As you get closer to the game, we get more hyped to play the game, we get more juiced and we’re excited to play an in-state rival at a bowl game”, Utah linebacker Gionni Paul said. EPA accounts for the context of the play (down, distance and yard line) and measures how each play affects potential changes on the scoreboard.
Utah (10-3) came in as a 2-point favorite in the first meeting since 2013 of schools that have campuses just 46 miles from each other. “So many of our players are here in the room today to welcome back Kalani and to bring that BYU football pride”.
BYU announced Saturday after the team lost 35-28 to Utah in the 2015 Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl that it has hired Kalani Sitake as its new head football coach, filling the vacancy left by the departure of Bronco Mendenhall. BYU had a chance to record what would have been the largest comeback in bowl history in a game that did justice to all the clichés and fables regarding the unpredictability of college football rivalries.
The difference ended up being the five turnovers BYU coughed up during its first five possessions.
With the game always filled with emotions between the two teams, the Utes have done a great job of frustrating the Cougars on both ends of the football. BYU’s defense was stout, keeping the Utes to under 100 yards of offense and effectively choking out Wilson’s passing options.
Camellia Bowl – Zach Matics capped a wild game in Montgomery, Ala., with a 23-yard field goal on the final play to lift Appalachian State to a 31-29 victory over Ohio. In its three losses this season, BYU has allowed 246.6 rushing yards on average.
Alcorn State (9-4), champion of the Southwestern Athletic Conference, was led by Footman.
