1977 Season Stats

Nov. 26 - Day Game at El Paso (7,800)

Traveling to El Paso for the season finale, the Cougars encountered the Miners' "spread formation" in the Sun Bowl.

Even though UTEP held a 13-7 lead (two TD passes by Oscar Ramirez) in the first ten minutes of play, the Cougars exploded thereafter to score the "most ever" points by a BYU team.

Wilson had a modest 30-14-2 record for the game, connecting on only two TD passes.

But the Cougars rushed for four scores.

UTEP fumbled eight times, losing it four times, and six of the Miners' passes were intercepted.

The win gave the Cougars their second 9-2 season in the last two years.
