PROVO — Last Friday in Logan, BYU surrendered seven turnovers, including a pair of interception returns for touchdowns, in a 40-24 loss at Utah State. The Cougars finished minus-6 in turnover margin against the Aggies.
Last season, BYU forced five Boise State turnovers, including two pick-sixes, in a 28-27 loss. It marked the first time in modern history that the Cougars lost a game with a plus-5 turnover margin.
It was a wild game on the blue turf last October. In the end, BSU blocked BYU’s 44-yard field goal attempt with 10 seconds remaining.
After the blocked field goal, the Cougars recovered and because it was second down, they retained possession.
