It’s a bruising and bitter tradeoff for Kevin Feterik. Two straight weeks he has thrown for four touchdowns, and two straight weeks he has taken a beating.

Feterik threw for 414 yards and spread his passes to nine receivers as No. 24 Brigham Young defeated California, 38-28, Saturday night, spoiling a return to Provo by Bear Coach Tom Holmoe.

Feterik was hot and cold, helping the Cougars (4-1) build a 21-0 lead with three touchdown passes through the second quarter. But he kept California (2-3) in the game with three interceptions, two that were returned for touchdowns.

Worse for Feterik, he was flattened on almost every play. The California pass rush poured through a soft offensive line.

Feterik completed 25 of 41 passes for 414 yards and the Cougars outplayed Holmoe’s young Bears, but BYU couldn’t pull away until scoring two fourth-quarter touchdowns.
