BYU Scores Nine Touchdowns in a 63-7 Win over Utah Tech
Legend Glasker scored three touchdowns and was not even the top fantasy scorer in his own game. That tells you what kind of night BYU had in its 63-7 win over Utah Tech.
Glasker ran in from 9 yards to open the scoring in the first quarter, then caught touchdown passes of 26 and 33 yards from Bear Bachmeier in the second. Bachmeier also found Jojo Phillips from 5 yards, and he ran in a 13-yarder himself with 34 seconds left in the half, which made it 42-0 at the break. Preston Rex had added a 9-yard run along the way. It was 49-0 almost as soon as the third quarter began, because Cannon DeVries returned a kickoff 100 yards.
Journee Tonga ran in from 4 yards to make it 56-0, and Utah Tech finally got on the board with Ace Chatman's 1-yard run with 4:45 left in the third. Devaughn Eka's 11-yard run opened the fourth to finish the scoring. BYU piled up 525 yards, 312 on the ground on 44 carries (about seven a carry) and 213 through the air, with no turnovers. Jojo Phillips (two catches, 16 yards) and Kyler Kasper (four catches, 42 yards) were the other receivers who showed up in the totals, in a game where nobody had to throw much.
BYU is 1-0 and Utah Tech 0-1. Bachmeier led all scorers at 34.9 points, thanks to a 16-of-20 night for 198 yards, three touchdown passes and a rushing score. Glasker finished with 29.1, and Eka added 11.9 on eight carries.
