But there were plenty of scary moments for the home team, which more than doubled the Huskies in total yardage and then finally doubled them up in points. BYU had 539 yards of offense, while UConn had 222 until its final possession.
After BYU dominated the first half, but had to settle for a 7-7 tie, the teams exchanged field goals in the third quarter.
Trevor Samson's 26-yard field goal with 13:24 remaining in the game gave BYU a 13-10 lead, the Cougars having to settle for the three points after having a first-and-goal at the UConn 6.
