BYU dominated Stanford 27-3 at LaVell Edwards Stadium behind a smothering defense that pitched a shutout until midway through the fourth quarter. The Cougars built an early lead with Bear Bachmeier's 3-yard touchdown run and added a unique safety in the second quarter to go up 14-0. Kicker Will Ferrin was perfect on the night with four field goals, while Sione Moa's 8-yard touchdown run in the third quarter effectively sealed the victory for the Cougars.
