PROVO, Utah – Call it redemption for his special teams mistake last week against Arizona State. BYU redshirt junior safety Talan Alfrey took advantage of a Houston onside kick, scooping the football up and racing to the endzone for BYU’s third kick return TD of the season.
No. 19 BYU is hosting the Houston Cougars at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday, November 30.

Moments after Houston grabbed a 7-0 lead on a Zeon Chriss touchdown run, Alfrey struck.
A personal foul against BYU allowed Houston to kickoff from the 50, and the red Cougars opted to attempt an onside kick. Alfrey atoned for last week’s mistake, tying the game at seven late in the opening quarter.
The Battle of the Cougars heads into the second quarter with Houston possessing the football.
