ANN ARBOR, Mich. — BYU was looking to make history Saturday at the Big House against Michigan, but this is not what it had in mind.
The Wolverines steamrolled the Cougars, 31-0 — the first time BYU has been shut out since a 3-0 setback at home against Utah in November, 2003. Michigan ended the Cougars 142-game streak without being shut out.
"It's frustrating," said BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum. "They shut us down. They outmanned us, outplayed us, outperformed us. They took it to us."
“We took a step backwards,” said offensive coordinator Robert Anae said of his team’s offensive performance.
