2026 BYU Football: Game 4: at TCU: Through the Rain

# THROUGH THE RAIN *BYU 17 — TCU 10* [Intro – rain ambience, distant crowd, sparse low electric guitar] Twenty years of waiting… Ended in the pouring rain. [Verse 1 – restrained, gritty vocal, low driving bass, tight drums] Rain came down in Fort Worth town, Purple came out driving down. Third down—Tow-moy-PEH-ow broke through, Dropped Craig cold and the drive was through. Next possession, third down came, Ah-KAH-nah brought the heat again. Two straight drives they tried in vain, Cougar defense owned the rain. [Verse 2 – tension building] Third drive, Craig found open ground, Kendal Wall chased him down. Caught his feet before he flew, Fourth and four was all TCU could do. Craig dropped back and took his shot, Sah-too-AH-lah read what he'd got. Picked it clean and raced away, Fifty-nine to flip the field of play. [Pre-Chorus – rising toms, guitars building] Third and goal, nine yards to go, Bear dropped back with nowhere to throw. Up the middle, he burst through the rain, Launched through the air and broke the plane. [Chorus – powerful arena rock, wide guitars, controlled intensity] Through the rain, through the fight, Nothing came easy on this Texas night. Every hit, every yard, every ounce of pain, The Cougars kept fighting through the rain. When the road got heavy, we carried the flame— Twenty years of waiting, Washed away in the rain. [Verse 3 – pull back, tense, rain ambience returns] Seven-all as they took the field, Neither side was gonna yield. Third down—Lindsey broke inside, Buried Craig and killed the drive. Cougars fought for every gain, Dunn lined up in driving rain. Forty-nine from soaking ground— His boot sent the wet ball heaven-bound. Through the storm it held its flight, Split the uprights clean that night. Three hard points worth more than gold, Ten to seven—Cougars took control. [Short Refrain – building, do not reach full chorus intensity] Through the rain, through the fight, Nothing came easy on this Texas night. Twenty years of waiting— Washed away in the rain. [Bridge Part I – half-time feel, heartbeat kick, gradual build] Then one last drive, the clock ran low, Seventy-two long yards to go. Ten plays grinding through the storm, Burning minutes, marching on. [Bridge Part II – intensity rises with every line] Nine on the ground to move the chains, Then ten more through the driving rain. Second and twelve—the moment came, Bear took the snap and changed the game. Twenty-one with the end in sight, Bear hit traffic and stayed upright. Purple jerseys crashed into him— That bowling ball took down the pins! [Musical Break – explosive drum hit, roaring guitars, crowd eruption] SEVENTEEN-SEVEN! [Final Verse – urgent driving rock] TCU had one last chance, One big throw gave hope a glance. Then Clifton broke through one more time, Fourth Cougar sack to hold the line. Three points came, but time was gone, Onside kick—the Cougars hung on. Bear took a knee as seconds drained— Fort Worth belonged to blue again. [Final Chorus – massive arena-rock climax, full distorted guitars, pounding drums, gang vocals] THROUGH THE RAIN! THROUGH THE FIGHT! Nothing came easy on this Texas night! Every hit, every yard, every ounce of pain, The Cougars kept fighting through the rain! When the road got heavy, we carried the flame— Twenty years of waiting, Washed away in the rain! [Outro – instruments fall away, rain ambience returns] Twenty years of waiting… Ended in the pouring rain. Fort Worth. Seventeen-ten. Through the rain.
