It was a wire-to-wire victory for the Cougars as they roared out the gates to an 8-0 lead, not allowing the Bulldogs to score for nearly four minutes to begin the game. Alabama A&M got the score within five at 12-7, but BYU went on a quick 11-0 run to pull away from the Bulldogs. At halftime, BYU nearly had the game in its pocket with a 46-24 lead.

The second half wasn’t much better for Alabama A&M. At one point, the Cougars built what was a 40 point lead in what ended up being a 31 point victory.
