Kai Nacua saved the day as the BYU Cougars escaped with a 24-21 win over the Wyoming Cowboys in the Poinsettia Bowl at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego Wednesday night.
The Cowboys had the ball deep in BYU territory looking for the game-winning score in the final two minutes when Nacua intercepted a Josh Allen pass to seal the win for the Cougars.
Scoring recap
The Cougars got on the board first when Tanner Mangum found the end zone on a 3-yard run. A muffed Wyoming punt set up the short field, giving BYU the ball at the Wyoming 3-yard line.
