1980 Season Stats

Oct. 11 - Afternoon game (76°, clear with small gusts) in Provo (41,296).

The largest crowd in the history of Cougar Stadium turned out to witness what was considered a clash between the two best teams of the WAC conference.

Wyoming sat among the nation's leaders in rushing yardage, and BYU was regaining momentum following its season-opening loss.

The Cougars, led by Jim McMahon, responded to the Challenge by producing 575 yards of total offense - 443 of which came via the forward pass.

Jim McMahon connected for four more touchdown passes to Bill Davis, Dan Plater, Matt Braga and Clay Brown.

Eric Lane added two additional six-pointers on one-yard dives up the middle.

Besides being five-for-five in the extra point Category, Kurt Gunther kicked his first field goal of the season-a 39 yarder in the second quarter.

Steve Carlsen finished the Cougars' scoring for the day on a one-yard run and Lee Johnson saw his first varsity action by booting the extra point.

The Cowboys only managed touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters as BYU's front line held them to 181 yards on the ground.

BYU moved its record to 4-1.
