1978 Season Stats

Night Game (Fair, 74°) (35,678) The Cougars headed into this non-conference game a bit deflated after the one-point loss to Utah, and with Hawaii holding a 4-1 lead over BYU in previous contests. Marc Wilson got the starting nod at quarterback, replacing the injured Jim McMahon, and passed for 291 yards and two touchdowns, completing 21 of 30. He also ran for 61 yards and a touchdown in 17 carries. The Cougars struggled through the first quarter, as the Rainbows put two touchdowns on the board and took a 13-0 lead. Wilson got BYU going in the second quarter with a 23-yard TD pass to Kent Tingey. Safety Ron Velasco picked up a fumble, and two plays later, Wilson ran 18 yards for another score. A 45-yard halfback pass from Scott Phillips to Stan Younger set up Wilson's six-yard TD pass to Bill Ring, giving BYU a 21-13 halftime lead. In the third quarter, Ring scored on a one-yard run and Brent Johnson kicked a 44-yard field goal. For his three touchdown performance against the Rainbows, quarterback Marc Wilson was chosen WAC offensive player of the week. BYU now 8-3.
