Injured Taysom Hill Hugging Teammates Will Make You Feel Things

Tests showed Hill had suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot during the game and he would have to miss the rest of the season.

Tanner Mangum was prepared to spend 2015 holding a clipboard before everything changed last week.

Now that it seems Hill’s season – and possibly his collegiate career – is over, it’s time for the Cougars and their fans to bring in the next era of BYU football.

The Boise State Broncos will travel to LaVell Edwards Stadium to take on the BYU Cougars this Saturday night in College Football action.

SPECIAL SPECIAL TEAMS: Boise State had some issues on special teams with plays that nearly allowed Washington to rally from a 16-0 deficit last week.

The sophomore quarterback for the Broncos made his first career start last week and finished 16/26 for 129 yards and an interception.

The Broncos had faded in the fourth quarter of a 35-13 loss. They are solid, sound, they run hard to the ball, they tackle well.

“Defensively, I was very proud of those guys on the two turnovers and the blocked punt”, Harsin said. Nacua returns to lead the Cougar secondary and attempt to shut down Finley and the Broncos’ passing attack.

Boise State plays in the Mountain West Conference, so they have that title to shoot for as well, but as one of the original BCS busters they definitely have higher standards, having tasted wins at that level in recent history.

As far as single player performances, Alabama running back Derrick Henry might have had as good of a day as any rushing for 147 yards and three touchdowns as Alabama played up to expectations to defeat a good Wisconsin team 35-17.

Mangum was 7-of-11 for 111 yards and 1 touchdown against Nebraska. It wasn’t the start Bryan Harsin and company were hoping for, but it wasn’t completely unexpected. “You know what you have to do and enjoy it and just have fun more than anything”.

Also, there’s the feeling that this video is a tad over produced like most BYU productions, but the feelings the BYU players have for Hill are indeed genuine and certainly evident in the video that the school released on Tuesday. “I think he understands what I mean”. “I’m not sure if you take, at least since I’ve been the head coach now going on my 11th season, how many teams have won more games than Boise over that time. They’ve done a nice job with him”.

The Cougars and the Broncos kick off at 8:15 MDT in Provo.
