BYU’s offensive line won that game.
Literally.
Kyle Sfarcioc covered a fumble that would’ve ENDED that game in regulation.
And THEN they went on to own Arizona’s defensive line in OT.
Andrew Gentry had a pancake on the Bear TD.
Bruce Mitchell killed a guy with a trident.

11 FBS teams make it through week 7 undefeated and are now bowl eligible (except 5-0 Miami). Some by the skin of their teeth today, but a win is a win! pic.twitter.com/U0q7KVEV2V

I’m confused with what just happened in BYU/Arizona.
Bachmeier just fumbled the ball forward and BYU gets a 1st down?!?!? It should be 4th &2!!!

How did BYU recover that fumble? Cougars still with a chance.
