BYU Dominates Home Opener with Fan Energy | Salt Lake City News
from Salt Lake City News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
BYU Cougars crushed Utah Tech 63-7 in a home opener that screamed electric energy, thanks to roaring student sections and passionate fans who kept the noise going until the final whistle. Coach Kalani Sitake praised the crowd’s impact, especially for new transfers, highlighting how vital that home-field atmosphere is for building team identity. He’s already eyeing the next game as a tougher test but knows this fan-fueled momentum can carry them all season. A nostalgic touch came when former QB Jake Retzlaff and RB Jamaal Williams showed up, with Retzlaff even congratulating a freshman after a TD — proof of enduring ties to the program. And then there was the sweet moment: a young fan snagged high-fives from players post-halftime, including Cannon DeVries, who returned the kickoff for a touchdown minutes later. It was more than just a win — it was a celebration of community, legacy, and the love that drives BYU football forward.
