Well that was a weird game. BYU won big, which is what we all expected, but man, did it take a while to get there.
BYU went into the halftime only up 14-9 after allowing UMass to complete several big plays. The Minutemen forced a Taysom Hill fumble that set up a 70-yard TD pass in the 1st quarter and later took a 9-7 lead after being set up by 51-yard kick return. The Cougars got two TDs on the ground in the first half from KJ Hall and Harvey Langi. There were a few breakdowns and mistakes on the BYU side that allowed the Minutemen to keep it close.
