KICKOFF RETURNS

With Talan Alfrey’s 58-yard onside kick returned for a TD, BYU tied its all-time high with 3 kickoff returns for a TD (3 in 1961).

BYU has only had multiple kickoff returns for a touchdown in three seasons: 1961 (3), 1988 (2) and 2024.

Wow. Seemed like many more, but must have been punt returns.

Stacy Corley was the kick returner. It was 1989.

Throw in the punt return TD against KSU, and BYU returned 4 kicks for TDs!
