GREENVILLE, N.C. — BYU’s passing game showed some signs of life for the first time in a long time Saturday night at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
But it wasn’t nearly enough in the Cougars’ 33-17 loss at East Carolina.
BYU rolled up a season-high 421 yards of total offense and 319 through the air.
The Cougars didn’t end their losing streak but they did snap a streak of 13 games without at least 200 yards passing against FBS competition.
Quarterback Tanner Mangum completed 26 of 41 passes with two touchdowns and one interception.
Throwing for more than 300 yards was a positive.
