Two consecutive interceptions on BYU's initial drives got Steve Lindsley off to a shaky debut, and the Cougars had another first quarter miscue when Bruce Hansen was stripped of the ball on an interception-fumble. But Lindsley, who often operated out of the shotgun, finished the day better than any of the more heralded QBs in their first BYU starts.

Kicker Leonard Chitty broke the ice in the second quarter with a 49yard field goal, and with 12 seconds left in the half BYU scored again on a drive where Lindsley was seven for seven in passing. In less than the first two minutes of the second half, BYU scored quickly thanks to a tightrope 36-yard interception returned for a touchdown by Rodney Thomas and a Bruce Hansen pass reception and rush in a three-play series for a TD.

Running back Robert Parker scored two TDs. Defensive linemen Shawn knight and Dave Futrell led an assault which smothered the Aggies. Three QB's each drove BYU to score. Starting safety korey Rasmussen was injured.

BYU moved up from a 16th tie in UPI to a ninth-place tie and from 18th in AP's pre-season poll to 11th. BYU now 1-0.
