BYU Football Enjoys Dominant D But Has Jake Retzlaff Burned His 'Mulligan?'

Locked On Cougars - Daily Podcast On BYU Cougars Football & Basketball

The BYU Cougars' defense stunned the SMU Mustangs Friday, joining the Georgia Bulldogs as the only teams to hold a Power 4 opponent without a touchdown in game this season. Can Jake Retzlaff overcome his critical errors to lead the BYU football program to more victories?

This episode breaks down BYU's dominant defensive performance, highlighting the impressive play of the defensive line and linebackers. "The defense was absolutely relentless," says Jake Hatch. "Holding SMU without a touchdown is no small feat, and it speaks volumes about the talent and preparation of this squad."

We also discuss Jake Retzlaff's gritty leadership and the potential future of Kellen Moore as endorsed by BYU legend Steve Young. "Jake showed a lot of heart out there," Hatch notes. "But those critical errors can't be ignored. He's used up his 'mulligan,' and it's crucial for him to tighten up his game moving forward."

Plus, get updates on BYU women's volleyball, soccer, and cross country, and catch up on former Cougars like Ryan Rehkow, Taysom Hill, and Jamaal Williams in NFL action. "It's been an exciting weekend for BYU sports across the board," Hatch adds. "From record-setting performances in the NFL to strong showings in cross country, volleyball and soccer, there's a lot to be proud of."
