PROVO — For BYU running back Squally Canada, last Friday’s 213-yard rushing performance in a 31-21 victory over UNLV set a career high and marked one of the best single-game efforts in school history.
It was also a redemption of sorts on the same field, at Sam Boyd Stadium, that Canada experienced a forgettable debut.
Canada’s first carry for the Cougars came in the 2015 Las Vegas Bowl against arch-rival Utah. Because of the timing of his transfer from Washington State the previous year, Canada became eligible to play against the Utes.
When he took the field, BYU already trailed 28-0 in the first quarter.
