Well, it finally happened, BYU football fans.
Your worst nightmare became reality for the Cougars as they went on the road Saturday night in Seattle as a double-digit underdog and actually played like they didn’t belong on the same field with an elite opponent.
Washington ran and passed effectively all night long, while the Husky defense forced BYU to mostly gain small chunks of yards and rarely convert third downs (the Cougars were 5-of-14 on the night).
That is the basic recipe for a blowout and the 35-7 Washington victory reflected that.
But, on the surface, this BYU team doesn’t seem like the type to crumble under the weight of a poor showing and disappointing loss.
