Over under has seen the BYU Cougars go a 6-6 so far, while the Utah Utes go 6-6. But Head Coach Kyle Whitngham says he believes ending the year with 10 wins is a big step forward for his players. “It’s the only thing that matters”. Mangum threw two touchdown passes and ran for a four-yard score to pull the Cougars within seven with 3:23 to play, but Utah was able to grind out the clock to seal the win. Utah put together a five-minute drive but turned the ball over on downs at the BYU 35-yard line one minute into the fourth quarter.

Andersen is likely to look outside his staff for a defensive coordinator to replace Sitake, who spent one season as the defensive coordinator/assistant head coach. BYU lost its second straight bowl game when they fell 55-48 to Memphis in double overtime of last year’s Miami Beach Bowl.
Mendenhall said other teams might have simply folded rather than try for a comeback that seemed impossible. It was their first bowl game since moving up to FBS, and they made the most of it.
“No matter what happens or how much we get down in anything, this team will fight back”, said Cougars defensive end Bronson Kaufusi, who had three tackles for loss. Joe Williams, the offensive MVP, led the attack with 91 yards and 2 touchdowns on 25 carries. The deluge became complete when Squally Canada fumbled on the second snap of BYU’s next possession, and Travis Wilson cashed in five plays later with a 20-yard scoring dash. Senior Tevin Carter went out with a bang with two interceptions that lead to two Utah touchdowns and to be named the game’s Most Valuable Player.
