BYU and Wyoming had to deal with rain showers during their San Diego vacation in the Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday night. The elements played a role in the game's low-scoring first half but didn't have an apparent impact on the game's most bizarre play, this deflection touchdown reception by junior tight end Tanner Balderree.

The touchdown gave BYU a double-digit lead after Wyoming opened the second half with a 16-play, eight-minute touchdown drive to cut the Cougars' lead to 10-7. Mangum didn't have the best start to his night in the rain, so getting bailed out here by circumstance and Balderree's awareness played a big role in BYU's efforts to capture a win in Kelani Sitake's first bowl game as a head coach.

The Cougars ultimately prevailed 24-21, despite being outscored by the Cowboys 14-7 over the final quarter of the game.
