Quarterback Jake Retzlaff finished with 228 passing yards in the game. He only passed for 28 yards in the second half as BYU kept the action on the ground to salt away the game.
To go along with Retzlaff’s 228 yards through the air, the redshirt junior also had 38 rushing yards on 14 carries and a touchdown.
The Cougars are now 5-0 in Big 12 Conference play as they sit atop the league standings.
BYU football has a single-digit ranking next to its name for only the second time in the Kalani Sitake era. The other occurrence was in 2020 when BYU reached No. 8 in the weekly Top 25 rankings.
