Parker Kingston, LJ Martin Link Up For BYU Trick Play Touchdown

PROVO, Utah-  The BYU Cougars took advantage of an interception at the goal line, using trickeration to take a 14-7 first-half lead over Arizona.

Parker Kingston looked to the end zone after taking an extended handoff on a backward pass from Jake Retzlaff. The lefty wide receiver lofted a 33-yard pass to a wide-open LJ Martin. The running back absorbed a hit as he tumbled into the painted area.
