BYU 49, Tulsa 24

The sophomore running back rushes 11 times for 96 yards — including a 38-yard run — and scores two TDs for the BYU.

Play of the game

On third-and-seven from the BYU 35 early in the third quarter, quarterback John Beck throws a short pass to senior running back Curtis Brown, who breaks four tackles on his way to the end zone for a 62-yard touchdown that gives the Cougars a commanding 28-10 lead.

Key call

With six minutes remaining in the game, officials suspend play because of lightning. The two teams leave the field and go into the locker room while most of the 56,627 fans in attendance go home. Play resumes after a 53-minute delay.

Quotable

"We had a chip on our shoulder. We came out there and we knew we could run the ball better than we did last week." — Curtis Brown, BYU senior running back
