Fellow wing Andrew Carver would dot down next in the 3rd minute and Jones would convert to push it 14-0.
BYU assistant coach Steve St. Pierre who led the Cougars' efforts tonight said the team started fast by sticking to the the team's patterns.
"These guys did a good job stepping up tonight," St. Pierre said, "They stuck to our attack and defensive patterns and were able to get up early on [Snow College]. From there it was just about playing solid for the rest of the game."
Following St. Pierre's direction the Cougars would dot down 7 more tries before the halftime whistle to make the scoreline 57-0.
Another 6 tries in the second half, as both teams opened up the substitutes restraints, would give BYU a a final score of 91-0 over Snow College.
