Burford to Brewer, 44 yards on first play of season.
HB Gannon Dawson goes for a 10 yard TD on his first college carry. 7-0, 12:14 to play in quarter.

Scott Wilson forces a fumble on the 2nd BYU play, which is recovered by Jerry McCullough.
We take over at their 38.

We are stopped, in part due to a sack, and McMullen misses a 43 yard field goal. Why did I bench him last year?

BYU connects for a 46 yard pass, moving into our territory in a hurry.
But they can't get another first down and have to line up a 44 yard field goal. Good, 7-3 with 6:31 left in the quarter.

Brown gets a bunch of touches on the next drive, on the ground and in the passing game.
No big gainers on this drive, but the chains keep moving. 15 plays, 83 yards, ending with an Edwards to Fortunado TD pass from 5 yards out. 14-3, 0:46 left in the quarter.
Noteworthy - Burford injured his clavicle on the drive and is out for the rest of it.

We get away with a defensive holding to force a punt.

Makeup call on first play for offense - unnecessary roughness.
OT Lonie Smith has a pair of huge blocks on this drive, which ends with a Edwars to Brewer TD from 2 yards out. 21-3, 11:30 remains in half.

BYU starts at the 40 after McMullen knocks the kickoff out of bounds.
But they go 3 and out. First downs are 16 to 1 at this point.
J.R. Jackson returns the punt 36 yards up to the 47.

Two play drive, as Brown breaks off a 51 yard run to glory on his 2nd touch. He now has 129 yards on 15 carries. 28-3, 8:41 remains in the half.

Another Burford is hurt, as DT Jared goes out with a jaw injury.
Another 3 and out for the Cougars.

BYU finally gets a stop, near midfield. We punt and stick them on their 6.

BYU gets their 2nd first down of the day with under 4 to play in the half.
But not a 3rd - punt.

Edwards is now 8-8 on the day.
Make it 10-10 after a 32 yard pass to Stablein, who is down at the 1. TO UCLA, one left and 0:45 in the half.
Screen to Brown makes it 35-3 with 0:38 left in the half.
Edwards is 11-11 for 87 yards and 3 TDs.

We help BYU out with our last timeout. They then complete back-to-back passes for 28 yards, setting up a 47 yard field goal attempt as time expires. No good.

Halftime Notes:
Yardage is 377-116. Our QBs are a combined 19-21.
We have 3 fumbles, but have recovered each of them. We can't have that kind of sloppy play in Pac 10 play.

In a blowout like this, I'll just post the scoring plays for the 2nd half.
Q3 9:00 Brown 3 yard TD run.
Q3 1:20 BYU 51 yard FG.
Q4 12:15 Brown 65 yard TD run.
Q4 9:27 Edwards to Voight, 48 yard TD pass.
Q4 2:10 McMullen field goal (30).
Q4 0:19 McMullen field goal (45).

Final score: 62-6. Kind of like last years opener.
