BYU rode a strong final 50 minutes to overcome an early deficit and beat visiting St. Mary’s 35-26 Saturday evening in Provo, Utah.
The Cougars were down 16-0 at one point - all of those St. Mary’s points coming courtesy of center Dylan Audsley - but rallied late in the first half, and had to rally again in the second half.
The University of Arkansas did just enough to put themselves in position to win the Heart of America conference after they tied Missouri 24-24 Saturday.
Having beaten previously undefeated Kansas State, the Razorbacks really only had one obstacle in front of them, and it was Mizzou, who had lot to K-State 25-24 in the fall.
The University of Utah pulled off something of an upset Friday night as they defeated #2 St. Mary’s 49-21 in Salt Lake City.
The Mid-South continues to live up to ita reputation as a game where anything can happen. Yes, Life University is 2-0 in the conference, but those wins came by three and four points, respectively.
