BYU blocks field goal and beats UCLA in Las Vegas Bowl

[JADankowski16]

ucla deserves to loose just because of that retarded facemask the kicker is wearing

[tiannam117]

"It was blocked"

[OGSmoothOperator]

Number 55 with the block fir the win too much.

[0goofygoober]

@OGSmoothOperator hes my uncle is name is Ethen

[0goofygoober]

@OGSmoothOperator hes my uncle is name is Eathyn

[bonanixd]

Kicker took to long!

[thespoho32]

I blame the linemen

[Kushsmoka420]

Should've been a leverage call!!

[gun5nr0s3s]

@Kushsmoka420 ROFL

[Kushsmoka420]

It took the hand of GOD to beat UCLA! Fight on Bruins!!!

UCLA for life!!!!

[Svecenader1]

@U0537150 Just remember...this perspective is literally as abundant as water on the entire planet. A lot of 'people' say things, then they write such things down and then hundreds of years pass; it then becomes 'gospel.' Study as much as you can from every possible subject, only the basic outline principles, use logic or common sense to balance it out then you'll be set for 'life.'

[brian8793]

@U0537150 I was just messin around.

[hp0904]

Another great ucla moment. It was christmas time as I sat with my usc loving family explaining to them that ucla football was not a joke when they pulled this boner I guess I was wrong all along. More excuses and more sorry ucla football, oh just wait till next season yeah thats going to be the year. ucla shoud just go div. 2 it might be decent.

[brian8793]

Right before this play, the reception went out for a few seconds. There is no doubt in my mind that the holy ghost was to thank for this!

[brian8793]

@brian8793 "THE HAND OF GOD."

[nu66ets]

I don't think you freeze this kid either...you block him. HEH.

[SuperBlaze46]

their pussies but they aint liberal

[keithahfua]

you GO "E"

[darksidez81]

BYU will never get a better bowl game

[aokoebor2k7]

wow that kind of clelabration is exactly like the jake locker clabration of the washington byu game just let kids be like kids let college players be college players let emotions become exactly that emotions let college football be college football i love this game poltics are tarnishing college football. No more taking away teams no more mega conference if ur going to add teams add teams in your regon add bosie st add utah add byu dont add teams from the big 12 thanks bye.

[personage135]

i was there at that game. when they started the kick, i was like, going nuts because i thought they were going to lose, they missed the goal, and i was like, "HOLY CRAP!!! YEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!" it was an intense game.

[readyjojoy]

This game would've been a blowout if Anae wasn't a freeking idiot. We will never be undefeated with that clown. Remember his bullcrap before halftime.

[SuperBlaze46]

@readyjojoy  we will still be undefeated with him

[pillsbury09]

BYU rocks. Those Liberal pussies in Westwood can't touch those Provo kids.

[wahoobeans]

bowl games:

4-2 2007

5-0 2008

if you think this was bad, then look at utah - alabama sugar bowl 2009.

at least ucla had a chance to win.

[rrgdpg]

This is just another shining example of how the Pac-10 is a worthless conference

[Keirdance]

Worthless conference? Then why does the Pac-10 lead in overall national titles?

1. UCLA

2. Stanford

3. USC

Look it up!

[rrgdpg]

Besides USC the whole Pac-10 iis a joke. . . look up which conference has more bowl wins

[MaxPower39and1]

Next year BYU can have the quest to do what UTAH has already done twice.

BYU CANT HANG WITH FAST TEAMS

[stuffedanimals1]

you are so right

[goodmorningpie]

Reply back when Utah has one a national championship.

[cwood4ever]

nice

[munke2112]

BYU 1984 National champions .. look it up as they say

[kingdelos]

Go BYU! They will KILL in the Vegas Bowl! And zslant... Max Hall will KILL the sorry utes! Go BYU!

[hockeygoon79]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[zslant]

Except for this year. Blah!!! Unless you think throwing 5 INT to your rival means getting better.

[RMDKJ]

BYU gets better every year in football.

[mataco41]

another miracle performed by byu

[peteyd80]

a miracle to salvage the win in a poorly played game.

[pr0AwP]

OH, RISE N SHOUT THE COUGARS ARE OUT! Here we come Utah, dare i may say, I'm scared that they'll lose this year unless Bronco pulls this defense together.

[DLloydP]

Oh man! sooo good! The same thing happened when the Cougs played UCLA this season. 08. It was pretty sweet when the fans started yelling, "just like vegas!"

[halfhoosierhein]

squirt some bruce davis!!! cry me a river baby!

[billynair]

sorry for the troll, just happened to be closing down when i saw this comment, your explanation actually shows you know what I mean, maybe you didnt understand how i said it. yes, you build a strong PROGRAM, that was my point, if you need a few years to build the team, the players you spent building up will have graduated, you can't waste time building a team, you need to build the program (something BYU needs to do actually, 3 winning seasons is good but not a DYNASTY) ...yet

[billynair]

U0537150 and tnor1091, a college team has a life of 2 or 3 years, this isnt the NFL where you can "build" a team, either you got it or you dont. and you forget to look at the fact that we pulled our first string out and our 3rd string almost out scored our 1st string, read the depth charts, look to see who was running, catching/throwing in the 2nd half, you cant blame your loss on not having healthy players blame your lack of depth, we killed you with our 3rd string too!

[i3yucougar23]

alright dude, this is ridiculous.

I'm fully aware that BYU hasnt played anyone good yet, and they still havent proven anything. In fact I fear any team on the schedule, especially tcu and utah.

The reason i was talking smack on UCLA is because of that one guy who before the game said that BYU was gonna need luck against the bruins, and then after the blowout loss, couldnt say anything besides somethin about a mormon mission. What a faggot thing to say.

[i3yucougar23]

wow. you are right.  What was I thinking? From now on, I am no longer a BYU fan, because they suck. Thank you U0537150, you changed my life.

[i3yucougar23]

there is no argument. 59-0.  nuff said.

[THEKICKISNOGOOD07]

vegas bowl Blocked FG

vs. WASHINGTON Blocked PAT

vs. UCLA blocked FG 59-0!

[opethboy]

BYU does it AGAIN against UCLA, but it didn't matter.

[gun5nr0s3s]

BYU does it again against Washington! YAY

[driver8train]

That's just plain sad when you cant make a field goal from right there on the field. Just like an extra point!! I forgot how bad UCLA sucks nowadays.

[jonathanmidgley]

Its about time you beat them. You'd think they won the Rose Bowl or something the way they celebrated. Terrible game. Plus the announcer rubs it in saying "and the cougars win another pioneer bowl win." Congratulations

[Jamez122305]

Sour grapes!

[sselin125]

"he played his guts out tonight.....literally"

Really? How did he literally play his guts out?

[walterlv01]

The Vegas Bowl is our one chance to see actual quality Division 1 football here in Las Vegas each year. This was one of the best ones, made it worth freezing our rear ends off for almost 4 hours.

[dybeen]

Heh. Utah is a solid team. I hope they make the MWC proud this season and pound Michigan to dust with those big ass backs of theirs. Also I hope Brian Johnson can stay healthy and show off his talent, and set up an undefeated Holy War for the BCS.

[gnr4evr06]

Piss on that idea. BYU will likely be undefeated. Utah will lose to Michigan and TCU before meeting BYU at the end of the season. And the Utes will lose that game too.

[dybeen]

Perhaps, but I think Utah is gonna pull off the win over Michigan. They bring back a lot of players from a good team last year, get their most talented players who got hurt early last year back healthy, and it's the first game of the Rich Rod era (AKA transition period time), and Michigan lost a lot of players.

Either way, this year could be the biggest Holy War ever.

[wewillrockyou321]

@dybeen that's almost prophetic...

[114998]

I would like to see UCLA win this next season against BYU. BYU is starting ranked this year.

[gnr4evr06]

And I would like Scarlett Johansson to show up at my door in a bathing suit but it just ain't gonna happen. There is no way UCLA is going to beat BYU in Provo this year.

[anonyj1]

Congratulations BYU. I hope you folks can beat Ruins this coming season

[tnor1091]

lucky cougars.....we will get u next time in 08...just u watch

[gnr4evr06]

LOL! Don't get your hopes up pal. You guys have to come to Provo. We're going to stomp you into the ground.

[tnor1091]

"Don't get your hopes up pal."

[i3yucougar23]

UCLA was lucky to even be in this game. Bruins are gonna need luck in 08. Look what happened last time Rick Nuheisel came to Provo.

[nodoubt009]

look at what happened last time norm chow was at byu

[tnor1091]

need luck in 08??? did u forget that half of our ucla team was injured? did u forget that we had to use our 3rd string qb??? half of the byu fans didnt even realize that wen we played u guys, and ur prolly one of those half.

[Jamez122305]

Sour grapes... By the way what does "prolly" mean? it's not in my dictionary. Thats what happens when you are illiterate.

[tnor1091]

prolly means probably :)

[i3yucougar23]

59-0. And I even saw Norm Chow show up to the game too. Where was UCLA's luck?

[tnor1091]

My oh my! Look what we have here! I think your trolling is getting in the way of your faith! Don't you have a Morman Mission to attend?

[AnDyHunter182]

hahahahah 59-0!!!

[i3yucougar23]

Brigham Young University: 59

UCLA: 0

[tnor1091]

Shall we check the all-time series?

UCLA: 7

Brigham Young University: 3

Didn't think so.

[AnDyHunter182]

59-0

[i3yucougar23]

The Rose Bowl looked pretty empty today. Sucks to be a Bruins fan.

59-0.

[tnor1091]

Actually, being a Bruin fan is just great! This is a rebuilding year, and I like to remind everyone that the majority of our first string players are injured, so it's awesome that our second and third string players are getting some experience out on the field. Not to mention, we have the best set of coaches in the nation, and that's not up for debate. We look at this year as a rebuilding year. We look at next year as a BCS contender year. So being a Bruin fan is absolutely great!

[i3yucougar23]

59-0

[tnor1091]

Why do you keep on reminding me about this year's score? I have already seen it too many times from you.

[southpaw102]

we wouldn't have had to win like this if we hadn't have run the ball and fumbled right next to our endzone before the clock ran out but oh well a win is a win. When we played them the first time our stats were way better than theirs but we blew it with turn overs. So now its even. One last game to decide it all this year in 08! Go cougs!

[mjsmith777]

whats a fag fest? i guess you passed your homophobia class at utah. go look up the cumulative pac 10 vs. mountain west record from 1997-2007 including bowl games. when you find this please post he record here...i dare you.

[lafarlia]

I'll remember this kick for the rest of my life. I was sitting in the section right behind the goal. I thought Id be driving back to Utah watching them get beat by a field goal with 3 seconds left. I couldnt believe it when I saw it go just below the post. We rushed the field and I got a pretty cool video of Payne taking off the Y off his helmet and giving it to a fan.

[sunsfan1310]

GO COUGARS WHOOOO!!!

[gcraka33]

i was a witness too!! that was the best play i have ever seen with the exception of the 4th and 18 play and the beck to harline play havent missed a home game since i was 7 and im 16 now! bronco rocks! unga rocks! collie rocks! get ready for a BCS year!!!

[gameexpertmaster]

Dartman: UCLA does suck. they were mediocre at best. they had a 6-6 record and they finished 5th in conference! and another thing, the Las Vegas bowl is not very prestigious and UCLA deserve very little credit for getting there.

[mjsmith777]

heygamepunkster: we finished 5th in a REAL conference. BYU would be a nice 4th place team in the PAC 10.....you are not Utah under Urban Meyer & all of your Detmer teams were frauds (ie. some Florida team stomping your lights out every bowl game fraud). so don't even got there with the UCLA does suck madness....you beat a team w/o a head coach and most of our first string skill players on the shelf.

[billynair]

hahaha mjsmith, well you are a better fan than a fortune teller, it looks like even after BYU took out their 1st and 2nd string your guys didnt cut the mustard, you can't cry about losing if you don't got depth! our 3rd string damn near out scored our 1st string last game... 59-0? and you say BYU doesnt deserve to be in a tougher conference?

[dartman348]

That was a great play GO BYU!!

But I don't know why everybody is saying that UCLA sucks. They made it to the Las Vegas bowl so you have to give them some credit.

[felixsheboudiac]

BYU's line flat out crushed the Bruins on this play. Watch the 3rd replay (1:35 mark) and you'll see UCLA's line simply collapse.

Go Cougars!

[mjsmith777]

i'll give you that, our line punked out,no excuses they should have put their helmets through the spines of those byu guys, instead they got dominated. we punked out at the wrong time. luckily we have a real o-line coach, enjoy this video post....you won't see us lose to BYU like this again.

[felixsheboudiac]

"you won't see us lose to BYU like this again"

You were right about that - getting crushed 59-0 isn't the same as losing by a blocked FG.

But I expect a much-improved UCLA team this year. Norm Chow's a winner. He's a BYU guy.

[mrsunshine01]

Bruce Davis has learned hopefully to watch his dumb mounth! No BYU didn't go to the a National BCS Game in 07 but they didn't get hammered in any of their regular season games, Davis got humbled in the Vegas Bowl!

[Shota871]

Humiliated sounds more like it.

[mjsmith777]

i was at the game, i seem to remember a lot of dirty play coming from your byu "christian" lineman, choking bruce davis out with an elbow in the 1rst half, what was that all about. he basically kicked your behinds in this game, you almost lost to a injury riddled team with a walkon 4th string QB....you were humbled....you should thank your god that this huge line man was lucky enough to stick his hand in the air for the block.

[cheYchau]

Hahaha! You're sooo bitter it makes mi laugh! GO COUGARS!!!

[ScottsdaleStylee]

Did anyone else notice how the BYU D-Line literally knocked the UCLA O-line on their butts? Wow, what a push up the middle! When does football season start again? I can't wait.

[SpencerNels0n]

When I watched this on tv i freaked out. This is one of the most amazing plays i have ever seen.

BYU!!!!!!!!!!!!

[byucougarsrock1]

Have you ever noticed that the #3 is a magic number for the cougars?

BYU vs UCLA--3 seconds left- byu wins

BYU vs Utah('06) 3 seconds left...byu wins

BYU vs SMU(1980) 3 seconds left...byu wins

P.S- Davis is homosexual that cheats

[johnnyu2123]

(I know I'm gonna' get hack for this, but... )

There's a simple explanation for why the #3 is such a positive number for the 'Y':

1. Three members of the 'God-head'.

2. Three members of the First Presidency.

3. Three witnesses to the B of M (All '3' left at one time or another, 2 came back, none of the three ever denied... Even David Whitmer who never came back... That's a great story, if you don't already know it... Testified of the truth down to his dying breath!!!).

[anfernee1983]

TIC right?

[usc1bato]

wow thts true and davis is homosexual tht cheats but those football teams better watch if they want to beat byu cauze they cant let byu have the ball with only 3 seconds left or they screwed p.s im not a byu fan

p.ss UCLA sucks!!! go usc and im so happy tht byu beat ucla congrads byu for beating ucla

[Shota871]

He's not a homosexual that cheats; he's a devil's spawn.

[ctwm2004]

I felt BYU was too in awe of UCLA's rank in the first game. By the time they started playing well in that game and scored two quick touchdowns it was too late. Halls fumble cost them that game. Truthfully BYU should have won the first game, and UCLA should have won the bowl game.

[Stotan2]

I am not one to blame the refs, but anybody who watched that first BYU game would agree that the officiating was awful! Every single reviewed call (4) should have gone to BYU. That fumble that Hall had at the end , should have been called a incomplete forward pass.....Pac 10 Refs....wait until they come to provo this year

[4PapaSmurf4]

Davis is such a butthole. Go ahead and cry little girl.

[7nites7adventures]

look at the first game genius

[4PapaSmurf4]

Who cares about the first time. Its all about the most recent time, its not like progression stands still.

[kampinpickle]

I miss football season...

[7nites7adventures]

dude i hated that game

[114998]

Why, you mad that BYU owned the PAC 10 again?

[BYUfan1991]

I totally agree. The game was just dull until the last play. I hope the game in Provo will be better.

[4PapaSmurf4]

Just goes to show that BYU cannot be beaten....Go ahead and send in USC or LSU, we'll beat em all.

[usc1bato]

well maybe but all usc and lsu have to do is not let byu have 7 points or less and be their ball and only have 3 seconds cuz thts byu lucky number

[Shota871]

The Trojans will conquer the Cougars just like the '03 and '04, but I adore your attitude nonetheless.

[Cougarfan4life]

Oh My gosh i was at that game and seriously was gonna cry. I almost couldnt look. but when the ball suddenly spiraled off to the side i freaked out. it took me about an hour to calm down from that. Go Cougs! Cant Wait til season 08!!!

[SuperEdMan]

im a ucla fan, and when i watched this, my first reaction was rage and disbelief, but i cant help but admire BYU for blocking that kick up the middle

the better team won, simple as that

[kampinpickle]

Ya know, its really nice to find a UCLA fan who is as humble as that. It was a hell of a game that BYU was lucky to have won. Although I do believe BYU was the better team, UCLA still played with all kinds of heart and passion. You can't help but respect that and praise UCLA for their efforts. Looking forward to the regular season matchup in '08!

[bball990]

amen to that....a humble UCLA fan... but BYU didnt play as well as they could have...i was kind of dissapointed in them. But at least they won! go cougars!

[Narcogen]

thats awesome lol

[goosejuice288]

LOL

[Jiggabel]

Go Cougars! Alma 18:27.

[131158]

Hahaha I just totally looked that up.

[redheadjeff99]

Ha so did i, good scripture

[nu66ets]

Does anyone see the irony in a guy whose Polynesian name begins with the Latin word for "hand" being the guy who blocks it?

Eathyn has a phone-book vertical, too. Provo phone book (about 3/4 inch). Lay the blame for this squarely at the feet of the Bruin kicker. A chip shot and he can't clear the pack of linemen jumping one inch.

GO COUGARS!!!

[Shizzlermizzler]

Yeah cougars RULE

[sfieldi]

Sweet justice to see that idiot Davis get a loss! After his throat slashing gestures to the crowd. How idiotic and unsportsmanlike! Cry baby! Cry!! GO COUGARS!!!

[halfhoosierhein]

i know it was the left side, but watch jan jorgensen absolutely OWN his guy on the side opposite the block

[Ytribe8]

Look at the domination up front (1:34) as the Forbath puts his foot into the ball. Money.

And there is NO one I would rather see squirt some than Bruce Davis. HaHa...Get some!

[kampinpickle]

The hand of Man(umaleuna). Can't believe we still left that stadium with a 'W'. What a season... Go Cougs! 08-09 BCS Busters!

[bryanhen]

Amazing finish to a fantastic season! Congrats, Cougs.

[gnr4evr06]

Ugly win but I'll take it. Go Cougs!  11-2.

[lghtmycandle16]

i still cant believe it. GO COUGS!!!!!!!

[Shota871]

Just when the bRuins had one last chance to ease their pain and finish another turbulent season with a win, BYU's Eathyn Manumaluena extended their woes by blocking the potentially game-winning field goal. A huge HUGE thank you for this video. As an USC fan, I never felt so happy watching such an excurciating finish for the bRuins. "U-C-L-A SUCKS!!!!!"

[drfoote]

Yes, we also enjoy Utah losing in the most painful way possible. We understand :-)

[CaliforniasGold]

i agree with you. its fun watching ucla lose close games.
