The BYU Cougars are a perfect 6-0. Here's how they beat the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday.
Three weeks ago, BYU forced three turnovers in six minutes and piled on 28 points to break the game open against the then-No. 13 team in the country.On the first play after the intermission, defensive back Jakob Robinson came screaming off the edge to get a deflection and rip down an interception.
Coordinator Jay Hill’s defense tightened up after the half. Even as Hill brought pressure on Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita, BYU couldn’t bring him down in the first half. He scrambled away and led Arizona on a 95-yard scoring drive to open the game. He ripped off a 39-yard completion to Tetairoa McMillan on a third-and-nine to set up the score.
But Hill eventually tightened the screws after a Tanner Wall interception at the one-yard line. And BYU’s offense took advantage of the break. Offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick went back to Kingston later on a trick play. Kingston threw a 33-yard touchdown to LJ Martin to give BYU its first lead at 14-7. And then BYU’s defense did the rest.
