Cougars dominate Rebels 52 - 7
The BYU Cougars continued their domination of the MWC by picking apart the UNLV Rebels. BYU continued it's opening drive success by scoring a touchdown, the Cougars have scored on their opening drive all but once. Thanks to the Cougars prolifient early offense, the Cougars have not trailed an opponent for 16 quarters. They jump up and stay up.

The only hickup the Cougars had was on a interception near the goal line early in the 2nd quarter. The Cougars lined up in their classic Harline fade formation, but instead ran a slant pattern, surprisingly the UNLV defender bumped Harline and stepped in front of the ball for the pick. I guess he just hadn't watched enough tape to know that we always run the fade from that formation!
