Play of the game
BYU freshman receiver McKay Jacobson outjumps New Mexico corner Glover Quin, reaching over the top of the Lobo defender to take an apparent end-zone interception and turn the play into a 20-yard TD reception from John Beck for an early 14-0 Cougar advantage.
Key call
With the Lobos looking to cut into a 21-3 deficit, Dustin Gabriel recovers a fumble by UNM running back Paul Baker at the Cougar 29-yard line. The play stands despite an instant-replay review, and the Cougars take over and eventually settle for a 28-3 halftime lead.

"They're just another team. They may be a rival, but they're going to get it just like everybody else has gotten it." — Dan Coats, BYU tight end
