Report on the Games for September 28-29

BYU 47 Hawaii 0

Remember that dive that someone hit in the Olympics, the one that was executed with a high degree of precision, but not an extreme level of difficulty?  That is what BYU did in Provo on Friday night.  Yes, they took home a clean sheet.  No, they did not impress a lot of people in doing so.  Freshman quarterback Taysom Hill started for Riley Nelson and early in the first quarter, running back Micheal Alisa went out of the game clearing the way for Freshman Jamaal Williams to play in his place.  Both Hill and Williams were impressive and both ran for over 100 yards in this blowout.  The degree of difficulty increases greatly when Utah State comes to town next week.

BYU MVPs: QB Taysom Hill and RB Jamaal Williams

Utah State 35 UNLV 13

There was a white-out in Logan, which is not unusual, but this time there was not a cloud in the sky.  Kerwynn Williams had another big night but Chuckie Keeton was even bigger.  Even though they played a sloppy game, they still run away from the Rebels who did not put up much of a fight. The near-capacity crowd in Logan went home happy.  There is a lot of optimism as the big game in Provo is on the horizon next Friday.

USU MVP: QB Chukiw Keeton

Montana State 24 Southern Utah 17

One could smell upset from the beginning of the game, but it was not to be.  The Thunderbirds chance to tie the score on the last play of the game was intercepted in the end zone.  The second ranked MSU Bobcats escape from Cedar City with a one touchdown victory.  Even though they lost, SUU shows that they do belong in the Big Sky Conference.  Brad Sorensen threw two interceptions and two touchdowns.

SUU MVP:WR Mitch Jessop

UC Davis 37 Weber State 13

Even though WSU showed signs of life in the 2nd half of last-week's game, that life was no where to be found in California this week.  The Aggies were a dominant force on both sides of the ball in the first half, going into the locker room with a 31-6 lead.  The Aggies were on cruise control in the second half.  WSU gets a home game next week.  It will be the third FCS ranked opponent in 4 weeks, the Cal-Poly Mustangs will be in Ogden on Friday night.

WSU MVP: WR Eric Walker
