PROVO, Utah, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Brandon Doman threw four touchdown passes and ran for another Saturday as 13th-ranked Brigham Young continued its best start in 17 years with a 63-33 rout of Air Force in the Mountain West Conference.
The Cougars (7-0, 3-0) struggled past New Mexico last week and Nevada-Las Vegas on Sept. 29, but Gary Crowton's club came ready to play Saturday, scoring 21 points in each of the first three quarters.
While other surprising teams such as Fresno State and Toledo suffered their first losses this weekend, BYU continues to enjoy its best start since winning the national title in 1984 with a 13-0 record.
Doman completed 20 of 32 passes for 338 yards with four touchdowns and also scored on a seven-yard run in the first quarter.
Luke Staley, who was held out of the New Mexico game because the university was concerned that his course load may have fallen below the NCAA minimum of 12 credits, carried 14 times for 134 yards and two scores.
Both Doman and Staley played just one series into the second half.
Tight end Doug Jolley also had a huge game for the Cougars, catching 10 passes for 177 yards and three scores.
Brigham Young leads the nation in scoring at 48.9 points per game and registered its second highest total of the season. The Cougars opened the season with a 70-35 win over Tulane.
Air Force (4-2, 2-1) made the score respectable with 20 points in the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Keith Boyea passed for one touchdown and threw for another for the Falcons, who have not won in Provo since 1982.
