PROVO — The way some blue-clad fans look at it, the 2017 BYU football season had two clear highlights.
The pinnacle, of course, was the win over San Jose State. Oh, that blessed 41-20 win. It might have been the most celebrated victory since Robbie Bosco led the Cougars to a 1984 Holiday Bowl triumph over Michigan on one leg. Even if it wasn’t quite on that level, it was a much-needed result. It snapped a seven-game losing streak, giving football fans something to cheer about if only for one afternoon — and perhaps giving longsuffering BYU faithful hope that losing streaks can end at seven games.
