The season came down to the final game for BYU. Needing a win to get that sixth win and become bowl eligible. BYU opened up the game strong scoring a TD on their opening drive. Houston drove down the filed but a 92 yard pick six by LB Jack Kelly made it 14-0. BYU's first half D was stout and let them get out to a 34-8 lead,
Cue in the 2nd half rally as QB Donovan Smith Parker's are came alive as did points for Houston. The Cougars tried to catch up as they outscored BYU 26-7 in the second half but it was too late to effect the BYU win.
It's been one of them years, well actually if we're being honest it's just a normal, every week thing since the inception of this game dating back to 2003, losing and losing sucks however once one gets used to it, it's not a big deal. UNLESS - your coaching your alma mater and then, it just stings.
"Look, this hits home for me personally, I'm trying to get this thing turned around and strike one, for me and the staff this year. I've been hopeful week in, week out unfortunately these games have not ended well and that's, as I've said over and over again is 110% on me. What a horrible start, Donnie (QB Donovan Smith) drove us down, and I'll be damn, made a horrible read and bam, boom, pow we're behind by two scores.
MO! in this game is a (scratch that) *itch and we never could recover although we made the score look a little prettier in the end. What did we outscore them by in the 2nd half, something like 15-20 points???" -REPORTER CHIMES IN, 26-7- "See, if we would, or could figure out how to start like that instead of trying to play catchup we'd be in pretty good shape.
Hey guys, we have one more game to go, coming up at home at TDECU, we could use all of your support facing off against Baylor. Go Coogs!"
