BYU vs. Wyoming Postgame Notes
With 1:53 remaining in the first half, Kevin Feterik connected with Margin Hooks on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Margin Hooks to extend the Cougars' NCAA-record to 310 games without being shutout. The streak dates back to the 1975 season.
Fullback Kalani Sitake will miss the remainder of the season with a broken left ankle. Offensive lineman John Skiba will miss the Utah game with a torn MCL in his knee. His condition will be evaluated further next week when the swelling has decreased.
