While the BYU Cougars were disappointed to be left out of the College Football Playoff, they were at least able to have a lot of fun in a thrilling 25-21 win over Georgia Tech in what was maybe the wackiest edition yet of the Pop-Tarts Bowl. And the ESPN on ABC broadcast did a great job of capturing the chaos on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Play-by-play announcer Mark Jones and color commentator Roddy Jones were on the broadcast call for ABC. Jones even had a Pop-Tarts pocket square.<\/p>\n
