The last two seasons, the Brigham Young Cougars have
played in bowl games with a short history. This has resulted in BYU and its
players breaking or tying several records for the respective bowls. In 2010,
BYU set or tied 42 team and individual New Mexico Bowl records. Last year, BYU
set or tied 17 team and individual Armed Forces Bowl records. The Poinsettia
Bowl is another one of the newer bowls, which means the Cougars could repeat
the record breaking performances of the last two years.
