PROVO — Throw out an anemic first quarter effort and the BYU football team performed decently versus inferior FCS competition on Saturday. The result was a 30-3 win over McNeese State, which perhaps left most observers with mixed feelings regarding what they saw on both sides of the football.
The first-quarter performance was just short of awful, particularly when considering the competition, but credit to the team for putting together a second quarter where it outscored the Cowboys 24-0.
"Obviously there are some things we can fix to get better, but I think I will say that after every game," said BYU coach Kalani Sitake at the outset of his postgame comments to the media.
