Weekly Fan Favorite!

(Austin Collie going for a pass in the TCU game)

Austin Collie get's my vote for this week's FAN FAVORITE (It was close between Collie and Pitta) Collie was fun to watch tonight against Colorado State. Austin Collie has always been a fun player to watch but tonight, he really kept BYU in the game. Colorado State could have easily run away with this game early if it wouldn't have been for Collie who made a couple of great catches. On BYU's opening possession, he made an amazing one handed catch for a touchdown. He had over 100 yards receiving and 3 touchdowns BEFORE half time!

The announcers during the game were saying that he is one of the five best receivers in the nation. I don't know about that but he sure got my vote tonight. He had one of the best games of the year and really helped his team win this game. It wasn't long into the game before Colorado's Defensive Backs were intentionally drawing a pass interference call when defending Collie just to make sure he didn't go for another touchdown.

BYU will need Collie to keep playing at a high level in order to keep winning games.

Austin Collie's Final Stats are listed below:
9 Receptions
3 Touchdowns
156 receiving yards
101 kick return yards
257 TOTAL YARDS
