Brigham Young knocked off Mountain West Conference foe Wyoming, 35-10, in Laramie today.

The Cougars were led by first year players, sophomore QB Max Hall and redshirt freshman RB Harvey Unga. Hall was 26 for 37, 331 yards, and 3 TDs, while Unga gained 110 yards and scored twice in the win. Unga's 100-yard game was his fifth of the season and set a MWC record for freshmen running backs.

The Cougars did not turn over the ball or give up a sack for the first time this season. They also held Wyoming's rushing offense to 9 net yards.

Commentary: BYU gained a share of the MWC title for the third year in a row under head coach Bronco Mendenhall in his first three years They won the title outright last year, and need to beat either Utah or San Diego State during the next two weeks to claim the crown again for themselves. The Cowboys fell to 5-6 on the season and will need to beat arch rival Colorado State next week to become bowl eligible. It's a far cry from their season opener when they smashed current #16 ranked Virginia, 23-3.
