BYU did pass more, throwing the ball eight times in the Jfirsi half compared with nine .in, the entire game against 'Tulsa a week earlier. But it was the Cougars running attack that produced the only touchdown of the first half while their passing produced mainly some scary moments. BYU drove 59 yards in six plays on its first series of downs for a touchdown and Joe Liljenquist added the -- on the 50. Now the Miners seemed to come alive as quarterback Gary.

A jubiliant Coach Fritz Shurmur said the Cowboys didnt do anything different to block Batemans punts.
