BYU just keeps winning.

The 14th ranked Cougars totaled 398 yards of offense and forced four turnovers on defense as BYU cruised to a 41-19 victory over Arizona in front of a sellout crowd at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

It was a game to remember as Fox’s “Big Noon Kickoff” was in town as well as the No. 1 basketball recruit in the nation (AJ Dybantsa). The Cougars made sure to make the most of it with a dominating win Saturday afternoon.

Jake Retzlaff — who has made national headlines for his faith at BYU — passed for 218 yards and two touchdowns, and also ran for 28 yards. The Cougar offense had a number of short fields to work with thanks to a stifling defense which had a pick-6 and probably should have had two more in the game. The defense also missed out on a scoop and score as linebacker Harrison Taggart fell on the ball instead of picking it up. The drive ended with a field goal.

Darius Lassiter was Retzlaff’s favorite target with five catches for 86 yards. Sophomore receiver Parker Kingston caught a touchdown pass and also threw for a score as well on a beautiful trick play in the second quarter.

With the win, the Cougars improved to 6-0 and 3-0 in Big 12 play. BYU is off to its best start since 2020 when the team won nine in a row en route to an 11-1 season.

Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita threw for 275 yards and a touchdown to lead Arizona. However, the sophomore threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. His favorite target was Tetairoa McMillan — no surprise there — as the duo are one of the best combos in all of college football. McMillan couldn’t get going as the sophomore had just 78 yards on five catches for the Wildcats.

After going into halftime with a 14-7 lead, the floodgates opened to start the quarter as Arizona turned the ball over twice in its first three plays. For Cougar fans, it was a reminiscent of the Kansas State game where the Cougars scored four touchdowns in six minutes.

So many BYU legends came out for the game, including Steve Young, Fred Warner and Puka Nacua. All of them made sure to talk to Dybantsa as the Cougars look to land their first-ever No. 1 recruit.
