The Brigham Young Cougars aren’t exactly lighting up the score board in 2011. However, the whole team has gotten into the act, and the BYU scoring has been very diverse.
There is only one time I know of that BYU has returned a blocked or missed field goal for a touchdown. That was done by Ryan Denney (82 yards) against San Diego State in 2001.
The last time a BYU team has scored in all 10 of the ways that the 2011 Cougars have was the 1996 season. BYU scored both 1 and 2 point conversions, and a passing touchdown in game one against Texas A&M. BYU scored a field goal and rushing touchdown against Arkansas State in game two. The punt and fumble return TDs came against Utah State (game 6). The interception and kickoff return came in the same game, too (UTEP, game 10). BYU scored two safeties in 1996—the WAC Championship game vs. Wyoming, and the Cotton Bowl vs. Kansas State.

Well, technically, you could run a blocked extra point try back for a conversion or run an interception back for a conversion on a two point try.
