Bonds of brotherhood: Through good and bad, BYU's Juergens twins double their pleasure, pain

“That could go on for the whole season. I have to correct them. I had to tell them, ‘That’s my twin brother, not me.’ I’m in a married ward and people should know that I’m Garrett. But still people came up to me.”

PROVO — After a euphoric Saturday night that saw BYU knock off nationally ranked Boise State in dramatic fashion, the Cougars' Garrett Juergens showed up at church Sunday and was enthusiastically greeted by fellow LDS ward members.

“Nice catch!” some of them said.

Problem is, it was his identical twin brother, Mitchell Juergens, who hauled in Tanner Mangum’s 35-yard touchdown pass with 45 seconds remaining to put the Cougars ahead for good, 28-24.
