ND 49 BYU 23

Cougs played hard, but Irish strategy to pick on Y's short corners (6'5" receivers against 5'7" and 6'1" cornerbacks) worked to perfection. Irish QB Brady Quinn threw for school-record 6 touchdowns. Because of injuries, Y is down to receivers who've been switched to corner. The recruiting class of defensive backs that wasn't (because they were charged with rape shortly after arriving on campus) has been sorely missed with all the injuries Cougs have had. While the two who pled not guilty were acquitted, all of them violated the Honor Code and were justifiably kicked out of school. Turns out B.J. Mathis has been cleared of similar allegations in Texas. Wish them well in the future.
