It was quite obvious that Tulane was being worn down after a quick start, which was possibly just due to the fact that Tulane was not in good shape to start the season.

The rematch exhibited a severe lack of defense in which eventhe point-festually yielded a combined 15 touchdowns. The nationally televised game on ESPN2 was a nice showing to start the third year of the Mountain West Conference, especially since the league's representative team, BYU, won the game decisively. New Cougar coach Gary Crowton collected his first win ever as BYU's head man and was enthused, yet cautious about the future of his team. "It was an exciting day and exciting win for myself and the players," Crow-to- n said. "Seventy points was great for this week, but next week is a totally different day and a totally different game."

"Even though we are not predicted to win the MWC, most writers know that we are in the picture now, instead of just CSU and BYU.' Utah is now mentioned with those two teams," she said. "The margin for competition is closing, and we have a lot of confidence."
