Week 7: Top Local College Football Plays
Here are the top plays from the local college football teams from Week 7 of the 2023 season:
BYU Cougars
Cougar Cornerback Eddie Heckard Makes Incredible Interception Against TCU
“With 10:53 left in the first half, BYU cornerback Eddie Heckard was one of the few players that made a highlight play on the defensive side for the Cougars. Heckard picked off TCU QB Josh Hoover with a one-handed grab that in the moment, gave BYU a sliver of hope that they could back into the game. Despite Heckard’s best efforts, BYU as a team struggled and it wasn’t enough to get back into the game.” – BYU insider Mitch Harper
