1981 Season Stats

Evening game (108°, no wind, dry) (26,769) The new-edition Cougars, ranked 19th by UPI, looked strong defensively as they limited the Rebels to 160 yards total offense; that included a meager 15 yards rushing. It was the first shutout by a BYU team since 1979. Cougars scores came on passes from Steve Young to Scott Pettis, an Eric Krzmarzick to Jimmy Jones pass, plus runs by Casey Tiumalu and Young. It was Young's first game as Jim McMahon's replacement, and he was 19-of-26 for 271 yards. This game, which was played before the largest home opening crowd in UNLV history, found BYU with nearly twice as much possession time (39:59 to 20:01). Time after time the Cougars camouflaged their offense with running plays. (ESPN-TV) BYU now 1-0.
