The College Football season is just getting warmed up, but for BYU fans it has already been a tough year to watch and continue to watch. Last week BYU suffered a humiliating defeat to rival Utah, 54-10 the worse loss in the rivalry since 1922 when the Cougars lost 49-0, of course this was the first season for the return of football at BYU (BYA had a football program from 1896-1903). Of course the most recent embarrassing loss that I can remember was the 0-3 victory Utah had over BYU in 2003, which ended BYU's NCAA-record streak of 361 consecutive games (spanning 33 years) without being shut out.
So to say the least it has been hard to make BYU look good this year. True they have had their moments, like Van Noy's sack, fumble, touchdown to lead the team to victory against Ole Miss in the season opener, but these plays have been far and few between. However this last week the University of Central Florida did their best to make BYU look good, or at least their special team play (still can't say much for the play calling, offense, and for the most part defense). Not only did UCF try their best to make BYU look good, but they also allowed the team to do something that has not been done in 13 years, that's longer then Emma has been alive, and long enough that most current BYU students probably couldn't remember. The last time BYU returned a Kickoff for a touchdown was when Mike Rigell raced 96 yards for a score against Hawaii in 1998, so in honor of this special occasion (and once again thanks to UCF who played awful coverage allowing for the truck size hole that led to the score) please enjoy Cody Hoffman's, ESPN "Top Ten Nominee," play of the game, kickoff return for a touchdown.
