The Bears hosted the No. 19 Cougars at McLane Stadium in Waco, Texas on Saturday, October 16.
With 6:55 remaining in the opening quarter, Bohanon and the Bears went for it on 4th & 4 from the BYU six-yard line rather than kick a short field goal.
Bohanon tossed a ball into the end zone before Wilgar leaped into the air for the interception.
