"Saturday marked the first career start for junior linebacker Grant Nelson, who picked up the first two sacks of his career on Tulane’s first drive of the day.

Sophomore running back JJ Di Luigi scampered into the endzone for a three-yard touchdown with 6:24 remaining in the third quarter, marking his first career score.

True freshman Anthony Heimuli’s five-yard reception with just over 13 minutes to play in the game marked the first of his career. The play was followed by a one-yard touchdown run by Di Luigi.

Jordan Pendleton’s fumble recovery and subsequent touchdown in the fourth quarter are both career firsts.

Freshman Brett Thompson caught his first career pass for six yards with 4:40 remaining in the game." - Carey Hoki, BYU Athletic Communications
