BYU swept their two-game trip to Colorado and are in a commanding position in the Rocky Mountain D1A Conference.
The Cougars defeated Colorado 41-5 on Thursday night and Colorado State 86-9 on Friday.
BYU Head Coach Steve St. Pierre joked that this harkened back to the two-game playoff weekends of years past.
"I told the guys when I played we had to play a semifinal on Friday and then play Cal the next day, so this was a throwback to that," St. Pierre said. "The guys embraced it and had a great attitude."
The Colorado game was certainly closer and that was perhaps partly a result of the Buffs having played games already, while this was Colorado State's first game of the season. CU held BYU to a 10-5 scoreline in the second half.
Fullback Dylan Renner was a key defensive player for Colorado and outside center Charlie Quinn, just back from injury, impressed. His midfield mate Dylan Ginsberg made some big tackles while scrumhalf Nico Soza did well to get good ball to his runners despite being under pressure all day.
