The scoring started early as BYU prop Ray Forrester took a loose ball and scurried 20 plus meters for the opening try.

The ensuing kick off was gathered by the Cougars and with some deft off loads final recipient scrum half Adam Kuchin jogged the final 10 meters for the second score of the game.

BYU continued to find opportunities in the 1st half scoring 8 times in total before the break.

Another seven tries in the second half rounded out the total score for BYU.

Missouri’s lone scoring opportunity came in the 75th minute where a drop goal was missed narrowly to the right.

“We had a good game today,” the senior Bonham said, “We wanted to fix some things from yesterday and we felt like we were able to do that with some better continuity and set piece work.”
