BYU Cougars
Final Record...10-3
High Point...Red Alert. Riley Nelson (Sorry, I've been sick) fakes the spike and with 11 seconds remaining hits Cody Hoffman in the end zone for the go ahead score in the Armed Forces Bowl against Tulsa.
Low Point...Free Turnovers. The Utah defense forces the Cougars to commit 7 turnovers which leads to a 54-10 blowout of the Utes.
Turning Point of the Season...Marcus Matthews pulls in a tipped pass from Riley Nelson in the waning moments of a game against Utah State leading BYU to a 27-24 victory over the Aggies.
Offensive MVP...WR Cody Hoffman.
Defensive MVP...LB Kyle Van Noy
Utah Utes
Final Record...8-5, 4-5 PAC-12
High Point...Sun Bowl. After being down 14 points late in the 4th quarter, Jon Hays and John White IV lead the Utes to a come-from-behind victory.
Low Point...More Free Turnovers. In their second PAC-12 home game, the Utes commit 5 turnovers and hand Arizona State an easy victory.
Turning Point of the Season...The Utes hold Pittsburgh to just 120 total yards on the road to gain a 26-14 victory and to keep their bowl hopes alive.
Offensive MVP...RB John White IV
Defensive MVP...DL Derrick Shelby
Utah State Aggies...
Final Record...7-6, 5-2 WAC
High Point...Home Finale. The Aggies continue their win streak and become bowl eligible after defeating the Nevada Wolfpack 21-27.
Low Point...Again?! Against eventual WAC champion Louisiana Tech, the Aggies give up a 17-14 lead to lose 24-17 to Louisiana Tech. This was USU's 5th loss and in all five of those losses at that point of the season, the Aggies had given up a 4th quarter lead.
Turning Point...Hawaii. Against the Warriors, the Aggies were the team that had the late-game heriocs. With 14 seconds remaining, Robert Turbin scored from one yard out. This was the beginning of a 5-game winning streak to end the regular season.
Offensive MVP...RB Robert Turbin, WAC offensive player of the year.
Defensive MVP...LB Bobby Wagner
Weber State Wildcats...
Final Record...5-6, 5-3 Big Sky Conference
High Point...Sending off Ron McBride as a winner. In the season finale in Portland, the 'Cats score the final 21 points of the game to ensure that Ron McBride is a winner in his last-ever game.
Low Point...Streak. After taking a lead into the locker room at half time, the 'Cats watch Montana score 24 unanswered points in the second half. McBride would tender his retirement later that week.
Turning Point...Fumble. Deep in EWU territory with less than a minute remaining, Mike Hoke commits his first turnover of the season. Weber would lose 27-21.
Offensive MVP...RB CJ Tuckett
Defensive MVP...LB Nick Webb
Southern Utah Thuderbirds...
Final Record...6-5, 1-4 Great West Conference
High Point...Vegas. Even though a 41-16 win against UNLV doesn't seem like an accomplishment to most FBS football fans, it is rare that a good FCS team can beat a bad FBS team. When the lower division teams wins so big, it is something to hoot about.
Low Point...Poly. After taking a 27-24 lead late in the 4th quarter, the Cal Poly Mustangs would march down the field and steal a 31-27 victory. The Mustangs would only need to attempt two passes on the final drive. And they, the Mustangs, score quickly, even with their bread and butter pistol running attack.
Turning Point...Weber. After a 3-game losing streak, the Thunderbirds would use special teams to get back on track against future Big Sky Conference rival.
Offensive MVP...QB Brad Sorensen, GWFC offensive player of the year.
Defensive MVP...DT Cody Larsen
