Brigham Young University’s Cosmo the Cougar and the Cougarettes are making national headlines with their latest performance during last week’s football game against Boise State.
BYU football left the game with a loss, but the halftime performance has since gone viral with several million views. Watch the video below:

And the crowd goes wild! Cosmo’s smooth moves have garnered attention from The Washington Post, USA Today, Deseret News, Yahoo Sports, Inside Edition, MSN and plenty more.
Cosmo joined the Cougarettes for their performance of “Rolex” by Ayo and Teo. According to CBS in Los Angeles (see Tweet below), the team has not released the identity of the person behind Cosmo’s moves. We only know that it’s a male senior at BYU. Here are just a few reactions from the Twittersphere that helped the video go viral:
