“It’s magical. It’s spiritual,” Retzlaff said. “How can you not be romantic about this game?”

Retzlaff was 13 of 26 with 218 passing yards, two touchdown passes and two interceptions. He also ran for 81 yards and scored a touchdown on the ground.

He threw his first touchdown pass to Keelan Marion with 3:43 left in the third quarter. BYU took the lead on that drive.

After BYU kicked a field goal, Bowman returned the favor with a six-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 left in the game.

The Cowboys defense just couldn’t get through.

“It wasn’t typical of what you see from our defense,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. “I thought we were freelancing a little bit to try to play a big role.”

Cougars running back LJ Martin had 120 yards on the ground and scored twice. Lassiter had six catches for 1,289 yards.
