- Week 11 - #3 BYU (9-0) @ Fresno St (3-5) – Sat, Nov 4, 8:15pm – Bulldog Stadium, Fresno, CA – ESPN2
o In a game that features more BYU fans in the stadium than Fresno State fans, BYU is welcomed into the central valley by heavy fog. On one particular play, that soon will become BYU legend, Tanner just tells MLP (similar to Sandlot scene where Benny just says “just stick your glove in the air and I’ll take care of the rest…”) to run a seam up the middle and he will hit him in stride 35 yards from the line of scrimmage. Tanner snaps the ball, fakes the hand off, stops on a dime and lets the ball rip over the middle. The camera cannot even see the ball but it falls perfectly into MLP’s hands who prances into the end zone.
o The game is mostly played on the ground though and Fresno State is getting absolutely demolished on both sides of the line. Handsome has 12 tackles at HALFTIME and is causing serious problems for the Bulldog backfield. They can’t run the ball and the fog keeps them from throwing…it’s really quite sad/ugly.
o In what is probably the most boring game of the season, BYU dominates Fresno State, 28-0 and is found later that some dude in a steve nash jersey treated the entire team to Wahoo’s fish tacos right across the street from the basketball arena.
o Player of the game – Handsome Taneilu – 17 tackles, 3 TFL’s, 1 forced fumble
