UNLV - Phillips 44 yard FG | ||
| Stats: BYU QB Steve Young Passing: 22-40-271-1 Rushing: 9-78 |
| Oct. 10-afternoon game (67°, overcast) in Cougar Stadium (39,852)
A l7-game winning streak, the nation's longest to that point, came to an end as the Cougars were out-offensed for a change. BYU played catch-up offensively, and the Cougar defense was ineffective. UNLV quarterback Sam King hit Jim Sandusky on a touchdown pass all alone in the corner of the endzone for the winning margin with 0:19 seconds left in the game. UNLV scored first on a field goal to take the lead, even though the Cougars led 34-24 at halftime. Both Mark and Steve Brady were out of the defensive backfield for BYU, and the Rebels responded to the tune of 473 yards passing. Steve Young went all the way at quarterback for BYU and tailback Scott Pettis rushed for a net of 100 yards. BYU now 5-1 and 17th in AP, 20th UPI. |
