BYU Cougars Dismantle Kansas State Wildcats in a Dominant Home Victory

In a compelling display of football, the Brigham Young University Cougars improved their season record to an impressive 4-0 after decisively defeating the Kansas State Wildcats with a final score of 38-9. The Wildcats, now standing at 3-1, struggled to find their rhythm against the Cougars' formidable defense and efficient offense throughout the game.

Cougars' Offensive Mastery

The BYU Cougars showcased their offensive prowess by accumulating a total of 241 yards, with quarterback Jake Retzlaff leading the charge. Retzlaff completed 71 percent of his passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns, demonstrating his critical role in BYU's offensive strategy.

Additionally, Harrison Taggart made his presence felt by securing an interception and contributing seven assists.

Special Teams Shine
