LAS VEGAS — Not only did BYU quarterback Joe Critchlow make his first career start Friday night at UNLV, but he also earned his first career victory.
But he had a lot of help from his teammates.
Among those who played a key role was running back Squally Canada, who rushed 25 times for 213 yards — the No. 9 all-time single-game rushing performance in school history — and a touchdown in a 31-21 win at Sam Boyd Stadium as the Cougars improved to 3-8 on the season.
What was the offense’s confidence level in Critchlow going into the game?
