Boise State vs. BYU: Postgame Grades for Broncos, Cougars

If you could be graded for drama and flair, the BYU Cougars would ruin the curve for everybody else in class.

The Cougars stunned No. 20 Boise State on Saturday night 35-24 behind the magic of quarterback Tanner Mangum and his second Hail Mary in as many weeks, this time finding receiver Mitchell Juergens from 35 yards away on 4th-and-7.

The Broncos played well through the first three quarters, but they completely stalled out, which cost them the game.

With that, let's check out each team's game grades for each positional unit.
