BOISE, Idaho – BYU’s defensive blocked a Boise State punt to set up a short field for Zach Wilson and the Cougars’ offense during the fourth quarter.

The No. 21 Broncos hosted the No. 9 Cougars at Albertson’s Stadium in Boise, Idaho on Friday, November 6.

Boise State attempted to punt the ball on 4th and 10 from their own 37-yard line when BYU defensive lineman Khyiris Tonga had other plans for the play.
