Game Notes
No notes for this game.
Billed at the start of the season as the key game in BYU's championship drive, the game turned out to be a wild offensive show. Because of the fact BYU had drawn a bye the week before, there was same concern about how the "week off" would affect the Cougars. As it turned out, it was the Cougars' best offensive show of the season-559 yards total offense. The Pokes stayed in the game the first half, trailing 20-14. But Jim McMahon had 200 yards at the intermission, and there was no stopping the Cougars. Jim ended up with 366 yards total offense. Split end Mike Chronister caught eight passes for 115 yards. Marc Wilson came into the game late in the fourth quarter, throwing one TD pass and rushing 13 yards for another. Part of the Cougar success was due to a new offensive wrinkle, the double-wing, which kept the Cowboys off balance most of the afternoon. Tight end Clay Brown set a new WAC record (longest non-scoring pass) with a 71-yarder from McMahon. BYU now 6- 2.
