Saturdays game was a great stepping stone for the cougars, and a very impressive win. the Cougars rolled into Colorado Springs with high hopes of a win and continuing onto the next part of their quest. The Cougars fought for the win and looked great throughout most of the game. All the thoughts from the critics saying that they would expose our DB’s as well as our rushing defense, the Falcons did put up some great numbers against us offensively, but with the exception of a few big plays the Cougars pretty much shut down all the talk of the rushing offense that was suppose to crush us.

BYU again put up some amazing numbers on offense and proved once again that we are extremely powerful, and have some very threatening weapons. During the commentary of the game, the announcers continued to prove the point that I made in the last post “BYU is everybody’s big game” the commentator said that he was talking with the Air Force team and during the conversation they said and I quote “Navy is a big game, and army is a big game, and all the other conference games are big, but when it is BYU on the other side of the field, it is taken to a whole other level” the way that they practice and play is much different then the preparation for other games. Yes I do realize that is a compliment to BYU for wanting to perform to the best of their abilities against us, but also shows that we have to be on the top of our game every week in order come out with a win.

Coming out of Saturdays game Max Hall was awarded with the Mountain West Offensive player of the week, completing 28 of 37 for 354 yards and two touchdowns. Hall looked great on Saturday minus his fumble that he had rushing for a first down.  Bronco said at the end of the game that the players will celebrate this win throughout the weekend, and feel the accomplishment of what they did to win. He said that nobody will be looking forward to the big game until monday. The cougars once again were very impressive and showed that they have what it takes to make the wins happen on the road as well.
