The Bobcats were BYU’s third opponent for less than 300 yards this season. They have totaled 150 yards in the last three quarters despite a couple of forced ball losses.

FATE

Wrong Tackle
Wilson found little resistance by moving the ball down in the first half. Ironically, one of the few stops came thanks to a teammate.
Junior’s left shot of Brady Christensen knocked Wilson to the ground, preventing the Bobcats 34 from gaining 1 yard in the fourth game of the moment. In the end, it didn’t have a negative impact. The Cougars scored three plays later in an 11-yard race through Allgeier.
