# BIRTH OF A LEGEND [Intro – Stadium Chant] Whoa-oh-oh! Cougar blue, turn up the lights! Whoa-oh-oh! A Legend was born tonight! [Verse 1] First play, Tre Alexander takes it away, Cougar defense came ready to play. Five snaps later, number one gets the call, Nine yards to glory on his first touch of all. Bear takes command, Jojo finds six, Akana on the fumble—defense in the mix. Then a screen to Glasker, twenty-six for the score, First catch for touchdown—but still wants more! [Pre-Chorus] One touch—touchdown! One catch—touchdown! Freshman under the bright LaVell lights— Wait...he ain't done yet tonight! [Chorus] It's the birth of a Legend! Three scores before the half! Cougar blue exploding, Every time he touched the grass. Sixty-five through the air, Number one has arrived— It's the birth of a Legend, And the future came alive! [Verse 2] Evan Johnson picks it, Rex punches it in, Turnovers to touchdowns—do it again. Bear keeps dealing, sixteen of twenty, Three through the air and the offense had plenty. Thirty-three yards, Glasker breaks free, Touchdown number three—are you kidding me? Three scores on his first four touches in blue, Then Bear takes thirteen and runs one through. [Pre-Chorus] Forty-two at the break, Cougar Nation wide awake, First half statement, loud and clear— A brand-new season starts right here! [Chorus] It's the birth of a Legend! Three scores before the half! Cougar blue exploding, Every time he touched the grass. Sixty-five through the air, Number one has arrived— It's the birth of a Legend, And the future came alive! [Bridge – Half-Time Breakdown] Three interceptions— Alexander! Johnson! Leach! Uhkahna on the football— Nothing came for free! Four takeaways, Defense slammed the door, Then the second half kicked off— And Cannon wanted more! [Instrumental Hit] [Verse 3] DeVries takes the kickoff, straight into the night, End zone to end zone—one hundred-yard flight. Journee Tonga breaks loose, thirty-four on the run, Four more for the touchdown—first career one. Devaughn Ehkuh keeps pounding, eight carries, fifty-nine, Eleven to the pylon, puts an exclamation sign. Young Cougars got their moment, everybody got a turn, Opening night in Provo—watch the future burn! [Final Chorus – Bigger] It's the birth of a Legend! Three scores before the half! Cougar blue exploding, Every time he touched the grass. Three catches, sixty-five, Number one has arrived— It's the birth of a Legend, And the future came alive! It's the birth of a Legend! Hear LaVell begin to roar! Bear threw three and ran for one, While the defense forced four! From the first snap to the last, Cougar blue electrified— It's the birth of a Legend— Twenty-six is ALIVE!
