Atlanta Falcons teammates Tyler Allgeier and Richie Grant play BYU/UCF
Allgeier’s BYU Cougars, donned in blackout uniforms, took home the victory.
It was fitting that Allgeier’s top performer on BYU was running back LJ Martin. The sophomore ball carrier found the endzone twice to give BYU the 12-2 victory over Grant’s UCF Knights.
Throughout the game, Allgeier and Grant were tossing interceptions. One of the user picks Allgeier came up for BYU’s defense was from defensive end Tyler Batty. Allgeier was teammates with Batty during his final two seasons at BYU in 2020 and 2021.
Tyler Allgeier is one of the great running backs in BYU football history
Allgeier is one of the top running backs in BYU football history. The Fontana, California native started as a preferred walk-on at BYU before becoming the single-season rushing leader.
During the 2021 season, Allgeier rushed for a program-best 1,601 yards to help BYU reach a 10-3 record that year.
BYU fans would prefer Allgeier’s outcome for today’s BYU/UCF game compared to our KSL Sports simulation on College Football 25.
