Now that was a lot of fun! I really had no idea what to expected out of this game, with so many new and inexperienced players I just didn’t know if we could win the game. It was a hot (as always) first game of the year, so now lets get the AFA.
Season Openers
BYU has won four-straight season openers. BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall is now 4-2 in home openers. In season openers against Washington, BYU is now 2-1 after previously winning in 1999 and losing in 1997. Overall, the series is tied, 4-4.
In the Game
A total of 16 Cougars saw the first action of their BYU careers against Washington, highlighted by freshman Joshua Quezada’s nine-yard touchdown catch, freshman quarterback Jake Heaps throwing 13-of-23 for 131 yards and freshman tight end Richard Wilson’s three catches for 45 yards.
Pulling Out the Close Ones
With the six-point win over the Huskies, BYU has now won 12 consecutive games decide by seven points or fewer.
