We decked out in BYU blue, made signs (mine was a BYU haiku that was torn up by my friends) and lost our voices cheering on BYU. To anyone that hasn’t attended a bowl game, I highly recommend it.

BYU is back on their way to football glory. With their first bowl win since 1996, Bronco Mendenhall has brought this team to a place they haven’t been since Lavelle Edwards retired. The ever famous Quarterback Factory has produced another gem in John Beck (left), who is second only to Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer in career passing yards. That’s ahead of all-time greats such as Jim McMahon and Steve Young.

The even bigger player coming out of the program is senior tight-end Jonny Harline (right). He’s had game-changing performances in many Cougar games this year, none bigger than the winning touchdown reception over Utah after time had expired. With tight-ends playing a bigger role in the NFL, his size and skill should prove a potent package.

Beck and the Vegas Bowl Johnny Harline!
