Week 2


vs. Bellingham (W, 31-6)
1-0, 0-0


At the beginning of the second quarter, with BYU up 14-0, Herb Ramirez got to attempt his first college field goal. It was a 37-yard attempt on a clear, windless day, so it was sort of a shock when the ball missed wide left. Not a very good way to start out his career.

Herb got another chance in the 4th quarter, this time a 32-yard try. This one was right down the middle, but at that point the game was pretty much over. Herb's kick made the game 31-6, and Bellingham never responded.

BYU gets a win in their first game of the season. It wasn't a conference win, and this was probably their easiest opponent of the year, but a win is a win. They face Illinois next week. That game should be more of a challenge.

Week 3

vs. Illinois (L, 24-30)
1-1, 0-0

Herb kicked a 19-yard FG in the 1st quarter, and BYU led 3-0 at the start of the 2nd. Illinois fought back and the game was 17-10 Illinois with 2 minutes left in the 4th. BYU worked quickly and QB Bill Meier found TE Ross May in the end zone with just 52 seconds left.

The game went into overtime, and Illinois immediately scored a TD. But BYU came back just as quickly when Meier delivered another perfect pass with time running out. Double overtime came and again Illinois scored, but this time BYU couldn't do anything about it. They walked away with a 24-30 double-overtime loss. The 19-yard FG was Herb's only attempt in the game.

Week 5

@ Air Force (W, 31-17)
2-1, 1-0


Herb got the scoring started again with a 24-yard FG on the opening drive. BYU never gave up the lead and won their first conference matchup of the year. Herb got only the one attempt again, and that puts him at 3 field goals in 4 attempts. His longest attempt was that 37-yarder against Bellingham, so it's still much too early to really tell how he's doing I think.
