LJ Martin rushed for 176 yards and three touchdowns , including a 56-yard run on the second play of the game, and No. 11 BYU beat Colorado State 41-23 on Saturday night to move to 3-0 for a fourth straight season.
Well, folks, grab your popcorn and settle in because we’ve got a thrilling recap for you! Last Saturday night, the No. 11 BYU Cougars took to the field against Colorado State, and let me tell you, it was a game that had more ups and downs than a roller coaster ride at an amusement park.
LJ Martin was the star of the show, and when I say star, I mean he practically had his name written in neon lights! This guy rushed for a whopping 176 yards and scored three touchdowns. That’s right, three! It’s like he was playing a video game on easy mode, racking up points left and right. His most jaw-dropping moment came on the second play of the game when he sprinted 56 yards into the end zone. I can only imagine the Colorado State defense standing there, mouths agape, wondering if they had accidentally wandered into a track meet instead of a football game.
The Cougars didn’t just win; they stormed past Colorado State with a final score of 41-23. This victory marks their fourth consecutive season starting 3-0. That’s right, folks, BYU has now achieved this milestone 20 times. I mean, at this point, they should really consider making a trophy for consistently being consistent.
The game itself was a showcase of BYU’s dominance, but let’s not forget about Colorado State. They tried their best to keep up, but it was like watching a toddler trying to race a cheetah. The Cougars’ offense was firing on all cylinders, while the Rams seemed to be stuck in neutral, occasionally revving up but mostly just sputtering.
Now, I’m no sports analyst (thankfully), but it seems like BYU has found a secret weapon in LJ Martin. With his speed and agility, he looks like he could outrun a cheetah—if cheetahs wore football gear and had to deal with a defensive line.
As we move deeper into the season, it will be interesting to see if the Cougars can keep this momentum going. Will they continue to dominate the field, or will they trip over their own feet in the coming weeks? Only time will tell, but for now, BYU fans have every reason to celebrate.
So, let’s raise a glass (or a sports drink) to LJ Martin and the BYU Cougars! Here’s to hoping they keep the touchdowns coming and the celebrations rolling. Until next time, sports fans!
