GRADE B+
Offense
The Cougar offense finally roared to life after two straight games of scoring only 10 points. Quarterback John Beck shredded Boise State's secondary with the deep pass.
GRADE B+
Defense
Defensive coordinator Bronco Mendenhall's boys did a number on the Broncos, holding them well below their season average in scoring.
GRADE C
Special teams
The Cougars gave up a couple of long returns, and despite a mostly stellar game, kicker Matt Payne missed a game-winning field goal attempt.
GRADE B+
Overall
For the most part, BYU had all three phases of the game working. Can the Cougars keep it up?
