BYU’s Keelan Marion Returns Second Half Kickoff For A Touchdown

LARAMIE, Wyoming – The BYU Cougars needed a spark, and Keelan Marion provided one coming out of the halftime break, taking the second half kickoff back 100 yards for a 24-7 lead.

BYU led the Cowboys 17-7 after 30 minutes, but the offense under Jake Retzlaff sputtered for much of the first half.

Retzlaff was a respectable 17-of-27 for 193 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the opening half. Look beyond the numbers, and you’ll see several near interceptions and other big gains that were missed due to inaccuracy.

A sophomore, Marion came into the game with five receptions for 83 yards this season. He has one catch for 11 yards against Wyoming.

Marion’s kick return was the first BYU kick return since Adam Hine took a kickoff to the house against Virginia in 2014.
