GREENVILLE, N.C. – The BYU defense once again proved it can be one of the best in the country while decimating East Carolina in a 34-13 win.

Evan Johnson picked off consecutive ECU passes, with the second going for a pick six that gave his team a 13-3 halftime lead and all the momentum they would need in true freshman Bear Bachmeier’s first road start.
