The Cougars clinched a 6-0 start in the most dramatic fashion imaginable.
The Cardiac Cougars are back.
Against all odds, BYU is 6-0 for the second consecutive season, stunning Arizona 33-27 in double overtime Saturday night in Tucson.
The Cougars trailed by 10 points in the fourth quarter and had as low as a 7.2% chance of victory yet persevered en route to one of the most chaotic, unbelievable wins of the Kalani Sitake era.
Social media was on fire following the double overtime dub. Here are some of the most notable reactions.
