Cougar Sports Thrills (1979 - 1983)

[Music] for over 100 years Brigham Young University has been preparing students for successful careers and for successful lives during that time the university's athletic program has progressed to the point that it consistently ranks with the top 10 schools in the nation a well-rounded and an exciting athletic program an athletic program that has provided numerous sports thrills and that has developed many outstanding athletes it is not our intent nor could we do so to show all of the BYU thrills but we do invite you to sit back with us as we present for you many cougar sports thrills great moments in BYU sports [Music] the wind by the BYU Cougars in the 1981 Holiday Bowl ranks with one of the most amazing comebacks in the history of college football the game started as if nothing could or would go right for the Cougars the Mustangs scored quickly on first possession sophomore running back Eric Dickerson scampered for the touchdown and it is 7 nothing the Cougar offense stalls they forced southern Methodists to punt but instead a short snap goes to Craig James who dashes for the sidelines and goes 45 yards for another TD it is 14 to nothing for Southern Methodist and it seems like everything that can go bad will go bad for the Cougars and then the snap of a punt attempt sails over Clay Browns head and right out of the end zone for a safety and it's 16 to nothing this also sets up good field position for the Texas crew that eventually leads to a field goal [Music] then that combination that has done so well all year long clicks Jim McMahon passes to Clay Brown who makes a one-handed catch and out races the SMU defenders for a 64-yard touchdown the end of the first quarter BYU trails SMU 19 to 7 the second quarter is a calmer one with the Mustangs scoring 10 in the Cougars six the BYU defense starts to find itself led by defensive player of the game Glen ty conserve the Mustangs settle for a touchdown in a field goal in period number 2 before quarters end the BYU defense forces a Mustang punt it bounces once and then into the arms of vai Sikahema who dashes 83 yards for an exciting BYU score the BYU two-point conversion fails and BYU trails at halftime 29 to 30 two plays at the end of the first half turn out to have an important bearing of the final score bill Schieffelin just misses blocking a punt but learns the way is open for a block [Music] and on the final play of the first half a pass is thrown incomplete but all-american quarterback John Simmons falls and hurts his shoulder he does not play in the second half and Schieffelin flouse away the information on blocking a punt and uses it later to help win the game it's halftime the shell-shocked Cougars trailed by 16 points they have not stopped the Mustang running game nor has the BYU passing game been untracked the Mustangs control play in the third quarter they hang on to the ball for the first six minutes and then Eric Dickerson dives in for a touchdown it's 35 to 13 for Southern Methodist BYU starts to chip away at the lead they start to play their game Phillips a star of a contest catches one of ten receptions then McMahon adds a run one of the plays that sets up another BYU touchdown the TD comes on a pass to Clay Brown and BYU narrows the lead again to 16 points 35 to 19 the BYU defense is playing much better defensive end Titan sir a linebacker rep provide key defensive plays forcing the mustangs to go for a field goal the field goal is again good and it ends the third quarter scoring SMU 38 and BYU 19 and a Mustang land it's happiness and joy at the start of quarter number four as the Mustangs smell Bowl victory the Cougars get the ball and start to move the passing is crisp and effective Phillips Brown Jones Braga Davis Pettis and Lane catch passes BYU faces a fourth and short yardage at midfield time is called after the Cougars had lined up as if to punt BYU reconsiders and goes for it McMahons pastor Brown is complete for the first down Matt Braga typifies the BYU Drive he catches a tipped pass for a big gainer [Music] Phillips hangs on to one on a hard hit and then on fourth and one the Cougars make a big play Lloyd Jones makes a catch at the goal line three plays after this Scott Phillips dives into the end zone for the score with 407 left to play BYU trails 38 to 25 and the effort for a two-point conversion fails the following attempt at an on-site kick also fails and SMU has the ball on the BYU 42 the momentum had seemed to have shifted to favor the Cougars but then on the first play from scrimmage Craig James runs for a 42 yard Mustang touchdown it is now 45 to 25 and there's 357 left to play the Cougars get the ball deep McMahon scrambles for 14 yards a couple of completed passes and a big gainer to clay Brown down the sidelines the TV announcers compliment Brown on a great game at a losing Khans McMahon then is forced to scramble he throws off-balance into the end zone and Matt Braga makes a sensational diving catch the official hesitates and then makes the touchdown call the Cougars then missed their fourth two-point conversion BYU then executes a picture-perfect onside kick by Lee Johnson John Ramage throws a key block home oh and she'll fall on the ball and BYU still has a chance the score is 45 to 31 Pettis catches one for the Cougars and then McMahon again scrambling hits bill Davis down the sidelines for 40 yards and what appears to be a touchdown but it's ruled out at the half yard line the Cougars set up a pass option play with Scott Phillips he looks and then runs in for the touchdown a five-yard delay of game penalty against BYU and the Tri for a two-point conversion comes from the seven yard line McMahon passes to Phillips and it's now SMU by only six points 45 to 39 a minute 58 remaining an onside kick does not work but the defense does three SMU running plays are stopped by red Titan sir homo and Schieffelin it is now punting time with 18 seconds left to play and Schieffelin blocks the punt BYU has the ball with 13 seconds remaining McMahon then drops back passes to brown it's incomplete and then to Jones long down the sidelines too long but close to a TD now just three seconds left to play and now the play of the year for the BYU team McMahon sends everyone deep for a final pass he will drop straight back throw the ball into the end zone over 60 yards clay Brown is in the end zone and watch what happens Brown wrestles it away from spree SMU defenders Davis Lane inflators signal touchdown the official then does the same thing Brown cottage and the score is tied BYU had not had the lead during regulation play it's up to kurt gunther to kick the extra point it's snap Schieffelin places it down and gunther kicks it right through the middle incredibly BYU has won the Holiday Bowl by a score of 46 to 45 an unbelievable finish to an unbelievably exciting football game the 12th straight win the finale to a nationally ranked season Brigham Young's win over Southern Methodist in the Holiday Bowl during the 1980-81 sports season has been called by many one of the most exciting football games ever played but there been many others sports thrills on the BYU football fields including one that started the Cougars on the trail to national recognition that game in Houston with a Texas A&M Aggies 39 left to play on the football game bringing me on trading by 7 points here's Wilson first and 5 on the 15 yard line he's back to throw rolling out throws and it is caught at the 10 yard line he got the pass away to mike lacy his fullback and it was got on the 10 yard line I think that'll be a first off it's close to a first down it's just short of the 10 yard line required for the 1st Mike little a duct car we're both in on that tackle and in to bring Mike or Dave lacy down it's the 9 yard line they're bringing the chains all the way across to see if it is enough for the first down between the 9 and 10 yard line 1710 what a finish 2:30 left in the game bringing me on opening up the college season against nationally ranked Texas A&M it is a first down Brigham Young University has a 1st and goal on about the nine and a half yard line of Texas A&M what do you call in Jake well how about the old touchdown play all right the crowd that they're giving their they're giving the support to their team but they're also quieter than we've heard them how first and goal on the night and a half yard line mark.wilson ready the team set big offensive play on first down they give to Homer Jones and Homer does not make much that's what I would have called James Zachary in on the tackle James a curry a left tackle chlorine Evans well I guess the you know the call could be that that they were thinking am would be looking fast so they go with run and gain maybe a half yard 152 left to go in this game a play coming in for BYU well you don't want to get called with delay of game they gotta get it moving 143 to go it is second and goal the 9 yard line BYU ready they're set and the snap and it's Wilson looking to throw for the touchdown and pass interference call I think will be called because a BYU player was tripped as he went into the end zone I think that's number 88 Bill Davis that's right as Davis tried to get him the end zone he was tripped and pass interference at least a flag was thrown in the end zone let's wait and see how they call us we'll see if we can see it here on the replay probably not if we're following the football well UC Davis down he's same as was down flat on his back there that would give BYU first and goal on the one-yard line and Mel they may very well that's the call pass interference have to make that decision of going for one point or two points in the backfield number 36 Erik Lane is in there number 45 Mike Alesi Lacy's the big fullback Lacy's the one that can carry on a power play the snap and lacy does not make any yardage as number 51 Cal DeVito hit him çal pbut oh did an excellent job is slipping underneath the man who was supposed to block him and tripping up the clock is running with a minute 16 to go in this football game and Brigham Young trying to get in and well win the football game looks like it's back to the three yard line now the Cougars have got the chance here a minute for left they've got to get that ball second down and goal [Music] [Applause] long count back to throw as Wilson throws touchdown touchdown he completed the pass in the end zone for the touchdown to number 85 is tight in play brown and Brigham Young University is now within one point of Texas A&M it's Texas A&M 17 Brigham Young 16 with busy recently play the all important play in the ball game that completes into clay Brown you can't really see clay right there but he is in the end zone with a defensive man holding on to his back this is a conversion attempt if Brigham Young makes it they have a one-point lead if they don't make it they're down by one point ready the snap Wilson to throw for it did he catch and he dead it's caught in the endzone for the two-point conversion a diving catch in the endzone by number 45 Mike Lacy and BYU fans believe it or not the score with 52 seconds left to go in this football game is Brigham Young University 18 Texas A&M 17 I don't believe it look at they here it comes again watch this catch by Mike Lacey who is a high school all-american by the way served an LDS mission redshirted and is now back play shifted offense here's the pass it's a two-point conversion and look at Lacey dive he had to stretch out together [Applause] 40 seconds left to go Mosley to pass Mosley may have to run he's being chased outside he will run the ball it goes out of bounds at the 36 yard line first down Mosley back to throw Mosley does throw they got him at the 38 yard line with 23 seconds to play Dave Francis pulled him down but that puts an impossible field goal range and that means that Texas A&M could win this football game on a field goal as you'll watch the middle mostly as hurt Mosley's coming out of the game like he's had his wind knocked out we have 23 seconds left to go on this game first down on Brigham Young's 37 yard line with 23 seconds boy had they moved downfield in a hurry [Applause] there's a pitch back to Dickie Dickie trying to turn the corner he does turn it gets the 32-yard line but the clock is running now they get it stopped by calling timeout Mosely ready Mosley dropping back to throw does swing one out in the flat two brothers and he's down immediately the clock did they gonna stop they did with nine seconds to go a good tackle by Ed st. Pierre for BYU on Dave brothers the full-back well they've got the field goal unit coming in and this is it he's going for the victory right here hey I'd sure put a shoe on if I had to kick a ball that far well he's got to kick it 51 yards and of course he uses the instep of his foot he doesn't kick it on the toes which you couldn't do he has kicked over 60 yard field goals in practice so it'll be interesting to see what happens here the pressure is all on hardy Wilson today's 16 out of 37 163 yards the kick is no good it's way off to the left so the kick was no good there at 4 seconds showing on the scoreboard clock that means BYU gets the football out at the 41 yard line coach Edwards said before this game this is possibly one of the most important games BYU's ever played and definitely the toughest team at BYU's ever played and he was talking very positively what do you think all the other wag teams might think well I hope this brightens in a little bit but I hope we don't get complacent because they're going to be tough to Wilson simply falls on the ball and the clock runs out and Brigham Young University has scored an amazing upset victory the final score tonight from Rice Stadium in Houston Texas is Brigham Young University 18 Texas A&M 17 moving through the years to the present fans would have to search long and hard to find a game more thrilling and with a more exciting finish than the 1983 BYU Utah State game in Provo alright third down of bringing me uh niche three are eleven yards young back to pass has some time fires it complete Pendleton gets away and gets for the 48 yard line good catch by Pendleton under pressure Utah State University playing exceptionally well today they're ahead of BYU by three and now the Cougars have the ball first and ten at their own 48 yard line [Music] Pendleton going over to the right Kozlowski and the pace Berto flied to the left thou hast Burt comes back over to the right side and they do a lot of shifting around young back to pass fires it nice jumping catch by Tia Malo but he doesn't get out of bounds and they don't get much yardage so the clocks running with a minute 29 to go BYU trying to get a play underway in a big hurry a minute 23 seconds yeah I'm trying to set up the play they don't get it underway that happens so often when you're trying to do something that quickly and BYU illegal motion on the Cougars the illegal procedure here's Haysbert bringing a play-in for the food here submit at nine left in the football game they need a big play that really hurts you when you've got a drive like that a penalty it's just so critical you can't afford to make mistakes everything has to be precise everything has to go together and this drive for them to get down and score second down for Brigham Young and 13 yards for the first down [Applause] young will pass lots of time this time throwing a deep and it is [Applause] when capture the 20-yard line under pressure now we have 50 seconds and the Cougars only look like Haysbert collided with glen Kozlowski down there both of them had a shot at the ball Kozlowski shaken up on the play first and 10 Brigham Young on the Utah State 21 yard line and we have 50 seconds left to play in the ballgame youngish set up the play back to pass looking looking he'll run it himself he's down to the 15 down to the 10 battle of 5 cattle

[Applause] the high school my high school couger Aggie games seem to have a special aura about them and the unexpected always seems to be there many world-class track athletes who performed at Brigham Young University some of whom were the 1984 Olympic Games and the BYU track team has always been a national contender cougar distance runner Doug Padilla provided a great BYU sports thrill in 1981 while running in the NCAA Indoor Track Championships in second place from Clemson in the second place is Doug with you so it's as expected it looks like it will be a two-man race between Padilla and I am Bowie they've picked up the pace considerably so they are beginning to string out the athletes good era there's a five man raised now with Chris Fox running world back in the pack in six well if you want to get on the edge of your chairs everybody we have a half mile to go 6:28 unofficially is the split it's comfortable it's going to be a sprinters last half mile and we're going to see some great fireworks here who has the raw speed I really don't know in this one but there goes look at this Padilla taking over early this is a change in tactics that he's done before this is really interesting I'm very surprised at that homeboy we are starting to pull away from the pack and you should have seen the expression on nyam boy's face when Padilla went by him nyam boy was really surprised as if to say what's going on I can't believe you tried it Ralph I just can't believe it now he's running on the shoulder look at this I know Ellis tries to return the favor this is going to be a dingdong last half my gang this is going to be a dogfight here we go let's him by again now if he keeps them on the outside and doesn't let him by with a superior speed that's a good move he's making I am Bui use up his energy trying to go by him making I am going run an extra 2 or 3 yards every lap that's very smart and while running a smart race right now and I am Bui is not running a smart race he should either tuck behind him or go by him watch this straightaway again let's see who tries to go by whom Oh Suleiman I can't believe you're not Chuck again behind him this crowd they're going to be on their feet before it's through they just threw in a fifty nine seven quarter mile it's four-minute mile pace here in a two mile race look at the stride and the speed and the confidence of a man who trains only fifty to sixty miles a week Doug Padilla from Brigham Young University lapping the field they're lapping the field and sulaiman still trying to get by you guys going to get too small I can't believe that he doesn't wait now it's all out look at the midnight fooling around that wonder go look at this race here come the arm box Chris box you get out of the way they're on their feet at the Joe Louis Arena in Detroit Michigan and Padilla just won't let him by look at this spread the arms of pumping and flowing watch this last turn in the straightaway who's got the speed here they come [Applause] [Applause] medea represented the United States in the 1984 Olympics in the 5,000 meters basketball has provided some great moments for the BYU sports fan conference championships NIT titles international tours NC double-a postseason tournaments and in 1979 the Cougars won a WAC Championship with an amazing come-from-behind win in San Diego California [Music] be ye with the ball down by 4 points 93 [Music] to the ranch and in a couple of steps lops potato [Music] great pass by Devin to rent that time and Taylor laid it in the basket was fouled in the process and he's got a chance to pull within one BYU has a chance to pull within one point there you can see Taylor going up number 24 Quinn got him on the arm the ball goes in Tanner will be shooting one shot looked like it was going to bounce back out but it stayed in we had paper cups on out of the crowd again after that ball here's Taylor's hit four straight free throws in the ball game and has 18 points BYU down by two it's good by Allen Taylor so the Cougars are that back to within one point and they put up a full-court press the Aztecs with the ball gets back to Quinn a minute 30 to go San Diego leading by one point win over the 10-second line double team gets away he's dribbling with a minute 23 in San Diego leading by a point gets work storage the foul circle against true no doubt timeout is called by San Diego State one minute 17 seconds left to go in a thriller and the Cougars were down by was it six back within one they're back within one and I think they had a chance to maybe tie this game up routine you would have hit that other foul shot but that's a big if both teams were playing exceptionally hard we're down to the last minute 17 seconds the Aztecs want timeout the scores 93 to 92 you couldn't ask for a better basketball game in a more exciting game it's just great basketball play back in a minute 17 ago San Diego State leading by one point 93 92 the Aztecs to a shot exceptionally world the pass comes into Malevich to God out in front to Quinn when working with the ball when dribbling down the left side lines were down to a minute 10 that's Malevich not a big back to Quinn Flynn comes out in front with a minute four to go the Aztecs a hit by a point wind down the left side I took great game tonight to fine basketball teams Dodd to Gwynn 56 seconds he's at midcourt against Runa he goes down the left side lines runu covering in word out of 48 seconds when dribbling apps in front against true you have down the left side to 43 seconds a jump is called when did not get rid of the ball in the allotted five seconds out in the pressure area [Applause] so when jumping against room yeah that's really when is five of Heaven and Rooney is six one good effort on the part of Scott Rudy that time he wins a quick little garden Scottie stayed with him the whole time here is a big jump ball in this game with 42 seconds left to play who is down by a point the tip is over the court stolen by ringer out in front to Roberts Roberts POW it's not gonna bombs it is not a foul well they fed it to Roberts and a great effort by dog San Diego State to catch up with Roberts and knock the ball out of on forever by Todd that time God he got the ball just as Fred was going to go up and knocked it out of bounds BYU with the ball the inbounds pass comes in to Payne James back to Robert Roberts bought away shot [Applause] Paul is called on BYU on the rebound I guess it's on Devon Durant and if so that'll be the fifth foul on Durant of the Cougar just missed a chance to take the lead [Music] but 31 seconds left to go [Music] the imbalance past came into Ange and he passed off of the shop was best [Music] Coran was called with pushing of the rebound and that is foul number five on Devon Durant he fouls out of the game with 31 seconds to go and here's an interesting note to Gifford Devin Durant is not scored tonight he hasn't scored he he didn't play too much in the second half was Steve Prague in there but Steve Craig's gone a little bit but Devin Duran has fouled out of the game and I think Steve trouble is going to come in for grant the free-throw shooter is Steve Malevich so Brigham Young University came down to within one point and had a shot and missed it and now San Diego State will have Malevich at the line he is 6 out of 7 as a foul shooter and is an 83% foul shooter Steve Trumbull comes into the game for Brigham Young replacing Duran who fouled out 93 to 92 the score San Diego State leading and if they win the game then the game with Utah Saturday here will determine the whether the Cougars win the championship outright Wow what a finish a great ballgame by both teams here's Malevich who has 26 points a pressure free-throw for him he's a senior by the way Malevich shot is good so the Aztecs increase the lead to 294 to 92 but 31 seconds remaining an exciting basketball game tonight at San Diego not a McCready again the second shot is good we made a bowl so the Cougars now under a lot of pressure they have to score in a hurry Junia goody - Roberts Roberts to aim Ainge at the free-throw line goes for the shot it bounces up no good Trumbo tipped it in Steve Trumbo tipped it in there's a foul on backcourt of Danny Ainge of BYU [Music] the Cougars got a tip in from crumble with 18 seconds to go to make it a one-point lead again Steve Trumbull did a great job in tipping that Paul tipping that ball back into the basket chain one thing one of the smartest things a basketball player could do in this particular situation as soon as that ball went in he fouled number 24 Gwyn but he made it so it wasn't an intentional foul no time had elapsed on the clock very smart play on the part of Danny Ainge now the pressures on Gwyn to make the foul shot and he is two out of two as a free throw shooter has two points in the game the Aztecs are 19 out of 26 a mess Roberts gets at the Ames Ames down court to Runa Runa working on the sidelines with 12 seconds Runa over to Daddy aim aims to the baseline in his foul bike when seven seconds left to go in the ballgame at Danny Ainge was found by Tony Gwynn second foul on Gwynn and Danny Ainge has a chance to give Brigham Young University the lead but he'll be at the free-throw line to do it Annie has played the entire game on that injured knee has scored 22 points so here's the pressure shot by Danny Ainge shooting 101 [Music] [Applause] it's over the top and he almost missed it but it bounced over the lemon drop so we have a tie game or seven seconds to go ain't shootin the bonus shot he made that one San Diego State with the ball comes into Gwynn when to the midcourt line Quinn fires from way outside it's no good Ange huggleball [Applause] [Music] [Applause] that win clinched a wack title for the Cougars and thrilled thousands of BYU fans in attendance at the game in San Diego Brigham Young in Utah staged many

nothing but then pressure shot de Fuca six or seven from the floor of this half 14 points we've talked about the glamour players Notre Dame winces Kelly Trabuco when they needed a basket will be I think they will [Music] the last four 24 points he'll go he only had two free-throws credit dandy age is something to look he has had a frustrating evening Notre Dame has played tough defense but many times when I thought in the second half he could have shot he passed to his open teammates now the defense is going to be key to against Ange he's gonna look for the shot but if he doesn't get it I think he'll get it to his open teammates and it will be up to one of them to hit the shot still shake it up [Music] [Applause] defects slides down to the office and there are eight seconds to go [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] took that bomb from one into the 401 three Notre Dame players what's behind this back Laden it up which what a great basketball play [Applause] thanks to great camera play we're going to get a look at this last eight second age full speed here he goes between behind his back between three players [Applause] [Music] basket ball flag perhaps the highlight is a college basketball this year it's been a sports thrill for BYU fans to simply follow the BYU golf program and the BYU golfers have coach Carl Tucker highly respected very competitive and with numerous team members now in the professional circuit and the BYU golf program provided an all time BYU sports thrill Wood had won a national championship in 1981 in front by one shot at the start of today's round but Oral Roberts has closed the gap from time to time throughout the day right now BYU has gone back to a one-shot lead Houston just behind them in third place it's a three-way horse race landed in the bunker on his second shot but his third shot marvelous out of that trap and now putting for par Keith Clearwater of BYU and BYU leading in the team scoring by one stroke that's a big one he got it yes a big one they're here at the Stanford Golf Club break they place Andy's that would be worth $1 to get it up and down out of the sand that's we've seen they do that at Kapalua too don't that there's a lot of pressure on these young man they're not only playing for themselves they're playing for their school was being one of five players and it's tough there you make a mistake and you've got four guys getting ready and everybody's looking at you that's a bogey 5 sure right now these BYU players feel closer to each other than it is BYU Cougars and they'll all come out on the green and you don't want him to stay there too long there's Carl Tucker the coach with the white hat on hugs all around is Billy arrested a little distraught the leader of the Oral Roberts team Joey will just put his putter in his bag and move on to the next tournament BYU here again behind 18 Bob Murphy along with Craig Williamson and John Mejia not on the golf course at 18 Rick Walker but with us right now coach Carl Tucker of the BYU Cougars and Carl we saw you play a number of tournaments this year and back at Santa Cruz in the Western intercollegiate I thought you were playing very well and I thought you had the best team that you've had in years well Bob you were the first guy to give us the when they voted us number one and I'm not sure we were number one at that time we thought we could be and didn't know but it's been such a struggle and the kids have played good the heats been on we've led from the second day on and I honestly can't tell you that there there's not one thing I can say that would express my feelings we have how I feel about winning this I've been some great moments for BYU baseball as the Cougars have dominated the northern half of the Western Athletic Conference for many years and many stars have started their baseball careers at BYU in May of 1983 pitcher Scott Neilson broke an NCAA baseball record winning more consecutive games than any pitcher in history and he broke the record against BYU rival the University of Utah and Marian a little extra drama riding on this one in the right arm of that young man out of a man from being on the mound Scott Nielsen going for a national record can you imagine putting four straight wins over he's playing with three different teams all these years it's just fantastic if he wins today he is 24th consecutive pitching victory which would break a record held by well he holds it now he's tied with Errol vas of South Carolina here's the first pitch of the ballgame it's bounced to second base ray the fooder second baseman hasn't a big [Applause] at a 263 hitter for Utah rounds out the second to rob ray one man de thing for Scott right now to have that first pitch and get that first out I think that'll make him a lot more relaxed and ready to go Scott's not a real overpowering pitcher but the strikeout ratio he doesn't want for him any batters the hitter is Lance Pratt the designated hitter and he pops it up down the third-base side will be out of play down to the bullpen in the utah side so designated hitter left-handed hitter he's a freshman from Salt Lake City played at granite high school quickly in the hole no balls two strikes in fact when you look at Nielsen's record in 85 innings Marian he's only walked 28 batters remarked that's almost as we mark the most winning 24 million so 23 in a row oh and two pitch the Utah team has a lot of freshmen sophomores they're a younger team BYU a veteran team number of juniors and seniors on the squad Nielsen's a senior and then some good freshmen being worked in there's a ground ball to first base Joyner has it practice on that many times for a tree to be able to cover like that make the troll that's an outstanding play Joyner of course young man at first base with the bat and with the glove is one of the best baseball players in college he's a good one here's Larry MacArthur up for Utah like hey I've been blooded mine takes a pitch inside for ball MacArthur a second baseman and is batting 367 he's pretty good hitter they have a good hitting team Jay I think they're about third right they're recognizing a strike called MacArthur a senior from Los Alamitos California he's one of the try captains on this Utah team excellent outside for ball 2 balls no strike you to think that Scott likes a little faster today than to me than he has been this year kind of overcast right now the day we've had sunshine rain clouds it's cloudy right now breaking pitch at the right centerfield and fairly deep right fielder Cooper going back he's with it all the way [Applause] [Music] Neilsen ahead 10 nothing if he wins the game he sets an all time in the CW four consecutive pitching victories goes back to nineteen was at seventy nine when he got started miss there's a foul ball he served an LDS mission for a couple years in Argentina says the only time he saw baseball Paula taki is in Argentina was in a department store one day when he saw a woman in a store never even touched one we know it's fantastic to me that he did this work playing on three different teams because that's what it is it isn't like coming on this team and winning 22 straight this year you know the young man whose record he will break pearl bass [Applause] [Applause] [Music] that I was talking about earlier is that Schneider made the nice road but Ray had the quarry to stay in there because that's a slow roller in the hole and and smiter made the nice throw and really had to be quick but stayed in there a Delta flight and tough hitter Mike down those two hits in the global play we're just going to say that bass who whose record he will break today in 1975 he was 17 and old going back his Makati back and it's over his head up against the fence get it back in and into second base standing up with a double as David Rives hit that one pretty well a double play was a big play now we have a man on second with two manam and Mike Moore the hitter more a singled struck out and lined out he's 1 for 3 lucasz hit the ball hard at times but they haven't bunch them together and that's a nice thing about what starts doing is he's not letting them get two or three in a row he's got them scattering right ROG they had one hit off of him the first six innings that's the fourth hit off of him in the last three may be tiring a little [Applause] 277 batting average the leftfielder movers to play Utah Saturday doubleheader in Salt Lake City [Applause] cut away from Eldridge but no advance by Rhys [Applause] [Music] [Applause] one ball two strikes once you know what the sun's coming out of the game [Applause] who tries to the shutout and set that national record here's the pitch two balls two strikes took a lot of guts to take that - - to make more and the pitch the ball three three balls two strikes maybe he's just adding a lead up to the girls gonna say I just got a little off with you got some ham if he wants to throw our initial in ago three balls two strikes to Mike Moore [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is 19th complete-game it's the first shuttle including bowl games the BYU football team has won more games over the last five years than any major college in the nation with the exception of Nebraska and the Cougars and the corn Huskers have identical records of 53 wins and nine losses BYU has led the nation in passing six times in the last eight years the total offense three of the last five years and the Cougars have scored four points in the last five years than any football team in the collegiate ranks it's a great sports thrill simply watching the BYU football team play as can be exhibited by the 1983 holiday bowl game the 1983 Holiday Bowl matches Brigham Young University against a rugged team from the Midwest the Missouri Tigers a team promoted as a great defensive squad the game was close tight and hard-fought from the opening kickoff and the Tigers took advantage of an early interception to score first the Cougars quickly bounced back using the pass and the running of all-americans Steve Young they threatened but the tiger pressure defense forces another interception only to be stopped by a very determined BYU defense the Cougars struggle through the first half on offense but great plays by the defense keep them in the game a KCT amount of run a Steve Young quarterback scramble and BYU has its first score the score now tied 7-7 another interception of young on a tip gives Missouri excellent field position but again the Cougar defense slows them and the Tigers settle for a field goal a BYU interception stops a final first half drive at halftime BYU trails Missouri 10 to 7 Missouri claims the ball on the fumble quarter and once again the defense is tested and on third and goal from the three BYU recovers a fumble with that the Cougars change the game's momentum still down ten to seven the Cougars miss a field goal but then another fumble recovery and in one quick strike BYU has the lead for the first time it's a pass from young to Stinnett and from a 10-7 score BYU now has the lead in the third quarter early in the fourth quarter Missouri bounces back moves to the BYU goal pushes it in the Tigers lead 17 to 14 and thus begins another BYU sports thrill the exciting action of the fourth quarter of the 1983 holiday [Music] Bobby Salazar Laurie
