BYU take care of business with a 24-16 win over Arizona in the season opener. BYU could have been on its way to a blow out after opening up a 21-3 lead, but Arizona’s offense was able to move the ball and seized some second half momentum to make it a game.
BYU will have a lot of things they need to clean up prior to Utah, but there were bright spots players and coaches can build on. Below are the top performers from BYU’s win over the Wildcats.
Offense
Neil Pau’u, WR — 8 Receptions, 126 Yards, 2 Touchdowns, 9 Passing Yards
With both Nacua brothers out at WR and Gunner Romney going down early, Pau’u was by far Jaren Hall’s favorite target of the night and hauled in 126 of Hall’s 198 passing yards.
