The news coming out of the University of Utah this morning is absolutely horrific. I donβt know how that team can possibly carry on tragedy after tragedy. BYU fans stand with you Utah. Everyone keep them in your prayers. At the end of the day football means nothing.
Taysom Hill final stat line. 11/15 passing for 136 yards and 2 touchdowns. 5 carries for 53 yards. 1 tackle on special teams. All in one half of football. Take a bow young man!
I canβt even handle what Taysom Hill is doing right now.
He plays all special teams.
He runs back kick returns.
He makes special teams tackles.
He plays QB in huge situations.
He plays wing back.
He runs the ball.
HE DOES EVERYTHING!
Donβt say it, donβt say it, donβt say itβ¦.
π£οΈAND HE CAN PASS!!!!!
Touchdown pass for Taysom Hill! Touchdown number βπΌ for Taysom.

After rewatching the game more times than I am willing to admit, I think a big reason BYU won was the fans. LES was sensational last night and the
@byuROC
showed up! I donβt think people understand how big of an impact it made in the game. I am so proud to be a Cougar!
I will NEVER understand where all the Taysom Hill hate comes from.
He is the most team first guy you will even meet. He works his butt off and never complains. He does everything he can to help his team win!
Kyle Van Noy played out of mind today!! He finished with 2 huge sacks along with 8 tackles, 2 forced fumbles, and a TFL. What a performance from

greats! Well deserved for both guys! Itβs a good day to be a Cougar! π€πΌ
I see lots of people hating on independence this morning. I think this is the proof that independence worked and I was a great move by BYU. Independence was the best option at the time and helped us get where we are now.
The best part of this BYU win is that we were winning the entire game. Never have the lead up. No late game heroics. BYU won every aspect of that game.
Jamaal Williams is one of the most liked players in the NFL and is constantly repping the Y. He probably has done more for the church and missionary work than most actual missionaries. This is just one reason out of thousands that make this a really bad take.
I donβt think we truly understand how impressive Taysom Hill is. Within 5 plays today, he had 2 catches, a blocked punt, and a Touchdown! You canβt make that up. No one would believe you.
With Chris Wilcox being claimed on Waivers, 5 of 5 BYU draftees are on rosters headed into week 1.
Zach Wilson - Jets
Brady Christensen - Panthers
Khyiris Tonga - Bears
Dax Milne - Washington
Chris Wilcox - Colts
Thatβs a pretty big deal!

How I imagine every Monday at practice is for the Saints.
*Sean Payton goes up to Taysom Hill*
βHey, I think Iβm going to try you at *insert any possible possition here* this week. Is that ok with you?
Taysom- Yeah, I can do that.
I want nothing more than the Jets to trade away Wilson and see him get a shot with another team even if that means he doesnβt start right away. The Jets are a joke.
Jamaal Williams has had a monster half of football! He already has 8 carries for 67 yards and a 7 yard TD. He also has 2 catches for 16 yards total. He is averaging 8.4 yards per carry right now!
@jswaggdaddy
is on a mission to prove people wrong today!

@smartystreets
has entered an NIL with all BYU women athletes (including walk ons and the Cougarettes) in a deal similar to Built Barβs football sponsorship.
$6k annually per athlete.
Taysom Hill will be a restricted free agent this offseason. It will be interesting to see if the
#Saints
are willing to pay him to keep him there. They have had him for a bargain these last few years. I have a feeling lots of other teams will come knocking.
Brady Christensen getting some love from the broadcast team as he makes the start at Left Tackle. He is having a great game playing the toughest position in football as a rookie.
Taysom Hill final box score.
8/14 in the air for 80 yards. 1 touchdown for 33 yards. 1 interception on a muffed catch by the TE. (Not his fault)
6 carries on the ground for a total of 45 yards. 7.5 average!
