Kendal Wall on the Night BYU Stunned Notre Dame | Inside the Y

BYU football defensive end Kendal Wall takes Cougar Nation inside the unforgettable 28–24 upset of No. 2 Notre Dame, revealing what really happened during the dramatic final drive and the emotions behind one of the biggest wins in BYU history. On this episode of Inside the Y, Wall joins host Cannon DeVries to relive the atmosphere at LaVell Edwards Stadium, the nerves before kickoff, the defensive adjustments against Notre Dame, and the moment BYU sealed the victory. From the pressure of the final possession to fans storming the field, Kendall shares his perspective on a night Cougar Nation will never forget. But Kendal's journey to BYU was anything but easy. He opens up about coaches doubting his potential, making repeated recruiting visits before finally receiving a BYU offer, and the emotional conversation with head coach Kalani Sitake that brought his family to tears. He also explains the relentless physicality behind his playing style, what most fans don't understand about defensive line play, and the teammates and family members who helped shape his career. Plus, Kendal shares the unexpected ways rugby and track improved his football skills, his love for NBA 2K and swing dancing, and the message he wants every BYU fan to remember: never count the underdog out.
