There are a lot of happy memories that occurred in games that maybe didn't have a happy ending that I can remember, such as:

1). the goal line stand vs Boise St in 2012.

One of the most awesome feel good moments in BYU history it's just too bad that Riley's self-centeredness and ineptitude gave the game away by digging us into a hole we were unable to climb back out of. He should've put the team first.

2). The 2012 game vs #5 Notre Dame.

We went toe-to-toe in South Bend with the #5 team in the country (later the #1 ranked team for several weeks), leading at the half and in the 4th quarter was in position to take the lead back until.....another infamous Riley moment.

3). KVN in the Poinsettia Bowl vs San Diego St

He was simply amazing in his ability to take over the game and will his team to victory from the defensive side. His two late TD's rank right up there (imo) with the all time great moments in BYU history like the Kyle Morrell flip tackle, etc.
