BYU Cougars Edge Colorado Buffaloes with a Fourth Quarter Surge at Folsom Field

The BYU Cougars maintained their perfect record, advancing to 4-0 after a narrow victory over the Colorado Buffaloes, who now stand at 2-3. The game concluded with a score of 24-21 in favor of the Cougs, showcasing their resilience and strategic prowess on the field.

First Quarter

The opening quarter saw the Buffs taking an early lead with 14 points against BYU's 3. The home team capitalized on their opportunities, putting pressure on the visiting defense. However, despite trailing early, the Y managed to keep themselves within striking distance thanks to a successful field goal by Will Ferrin.

Second Quarter

In response to Colorado's initial dominance, BYU tightened its defense and found momentum offensively in the second quarter. Bear Bachmeier led an impressive drive that culminated in a touchdown pass that narrowed the gap significantly. This shift in dynamics was crucial for setting up what would become an intense second half.

Third Quarter

Both teams exchanged blows during this period as each scored another touchdown. Isaiah Glasker made his presence felt defensively for BYU by contributing one of three sacks recorded by his team throughout the game. His efforts helped contain Colorado's offensive threats and maintain pressure on their quarterback.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter was pivotal for BYU as they executed a decisive drive resulting in another touchdown that secured their victory over Colorado at Folsom Field. Chase Roberts emerged as a key player during this phase with two receiving touchdowns overall, demonstrating his reliability under pressure.

Despite some challenges faced earlier in play execution and penalties incurred (6 for 34 yards), what went wrong for BYU Cougars was overshadowed by strategic adjustments leading them back into contention—a testament reflected through positive outcomes like red zone efficiency (100 percent).
