Cougars' Comeback Falls Short in Arizona

Last Saturday, the BYU Cougars faced a tough loss against No. 21 Arizona State. Despite a strong second-half comeback, they lost 28-23 in front of a packed crowd at America First Stadium. The Cougars still have a shot at the Big 12 championship, thanks to Colorado's loss to Kansas. Players like Connor Pay and Chase Roberts are eager for a rematch, especially if it means a chance to redeem themselves in the Big 12 title game. After the game, Pay didn't mind ASU fans storming the field or their taunts. Instead, he focused on the mutual respect between players. Coach Kalani Sitake understood the fans' excitement and didn't see any major issues. Roberts caught a Hail Mary pass, but it wasn't enough to change the outcome. The Cougars know they need to start games stronger to avoid comeback situations.
