No. 18 Brigham Young Brushes Aside Air Force, 63-33

Brandon Doman completed 20 of 32 passes for a season-high 338 yards and four touchdowns and also ran for a seven-yard score to lead No. 18 Brigham Young to a 63-33 victory against Air Force on Saturday at Provo, Utah.

Doman teamed with tight end Doug Jolley for three touchdowns, all from 18 yards, as “The Domanator” exploited Air Force’s defense all game.

The Falcons (4-2, 2-1 in the Mountain West) were the first BYU opponent with a winning record, but the Cougars (7-0, 3-0) silenced criticism of their soft schedule with an outstanding effort.

Since the Falcons started playing in 1955, they had never given up so many points.

Until this weekend, the biggest rout in Air Force history was a 57-27 loss at Notre Dame in 1990.

The Falcons haven’t won in Provo since 1982.
