In front of the Eastern press corps and a national television audience, BYU and Heisman Trophy candidate Robbie Bosco defeated Cotton Bowl Champion Boston College despite a heroic one-man performance by Outland Trophy candidate Mike Ruth.
The Kickoff Classic at the Meadowlands in New Jersey was the inaugural game for collegiate football, highlighted by Bosco, Ruth and Glen Kozlowski. Kozlowski was sensational with a personal best of 10 catches for 241 yards. He scored one touchdown, but had several clever receptions, including a pivotal 51-yard catch where he out-maneuvered a pair of Eagle defenders in the third quarter. 
That third quarter scoring drive was set up by BYU safety Mark Sherman who made a diving interception when the score was deadlocked 14-14. Ruth had 12 unassisted tackles and four Bosco sacks, but Bosco's 508 yards passing sufficiently impressed the media to select the Cougar QB for MVP of the game. The game was not without injuries, however, as Cougar guard John Borgia was sidelined early in the game. BYU moved up from 10th to eighth in the Associated Press poll, while UPI did not poll its balloters and a pre-season seventh place remained intact. BYU now 1-0. Source:1986 BYU media guide |
