BYU game at a glance

BYU 20, Arizona 7

PLAYER OF THE GAME

Harvey Unga

Redshirt freshman rushed 15 times for 67 yards and a TD and hauled in nine passes for 127 yards and another score, accounting for 194 of the Cougars' 392 yards of total offense.

PLAY OF THE GAME

Catching a third-and-5 pass deep in Cougar territory in the third period, Unga appears to be stopped short of the first down. But he rolls over the would-be Arizona tackler and avoids coming in contact with the ground, regaining his feet and continuing on for a 48-yard gain.

KEY CALL

In hindsight, BYU head coach Bronco Mendenhall said he should have attempted a field goal late in the third rather than try — and fail — a fourth-and-1 quarterback sneak at the Wildcat 2.

QUOTABLE

"It was a solid start, with a whole season ahead — but I'm optimistic." — Bronco Mendenhall, BYU head coach
