Game 6: BYU 32, Trojans 14

We beat the Trojans, 32-14.

Nicholas' hand-off to Daniel on BYU's first possession resulted in a long, sweeping run for a touchdown (1:07); followed by Hanyi's amazing field-slashing race to the end zone (2:30) and a second TD, punctuated by Daniel's 2-point conversion on a double reverse and another great cut (3:00). On BYU's third possession, Trenten caught a pass from Nicholas, then Daniel stepped in at QB to connect with Kyson on a beautiful pass (for those who saw it!) and 6 more points (5:20), ending the half with BYU ahead, 20-0.

The Cougars began the second half moving the ball, but a dropped exchange prevented them from reaching a first down. Missed assignments on defense then allowed the Trojans to score one of two touchdowns (the most ever scored against BYU in any game this season).

On the Coug's next possession, two incomplete passes made getting to mid-field BYU's top priority. The task fell to Kyson, who took the hand-off from Daniel and made a thrilling, cross-field dash to reach mid-field (8:35). Caleb moved the ball farther, then Kyson took it (again!) into the end zone for six more points. (Daniel's follow-up pass to Cash fell incomplete.)

While the Cougar defense effectively shut down the Trojan's offense on their next possession, BYU suffered a setback when Daniel's pass to a well-covered Kyson was intercepted for the Trojan's second (and final) touchdown.

BYU kept the ball for the remainder of the game, with Kyson stepping in at QB. Caleb and Daniel advanced the pigskin for another "last chance" first down. Then Daniel and Kyson traded places again, with Daniel throwing a short pass to Kyson, resulting in another touchdown. (And probably the best open-field run of the season! See 12:09.)

Thus far, BYU has outscored its opponents 5 to 1: 158-32.
