Hill, with another leaping TD. at 13:44 BYU goes up 7-0 in 5 plays, 75 yards just over a minute.

I like Utah State's "We forgot to wash our uniforms," look. #BYUFootball #beatusu

Looking at Jordan Leslie...the BYU weight & training program much better than at UTEP #USUvsBYU

What a start! Here's how #TheHurdle Take 2 from @T_Hill4 sounded on the Network (@IMGAudio): http://t.co/vRKGQ3nxNT. #USUvsBYU @BYUCougars

Actually, BYU playing sides in the secondary.

BYU's run defense is getting beaten up by a linebacker right now.
— Lawless Republic (@LawlessRepublic) October 4, 2014
Nick Vigil is a beast. Hey BYU........put Harvey Langi at running back!!!#USUvsBYU
— KYLE F GUNTHER (@THEGUNTHER63) October 4, 2014
#BYU is making this USU linebacker look like Hershel Walker.

Two passes to Matthews and second goes for 25-yard TD strike.

BYU QB that man, its gone be him or Gurley 4 da Heisman

With his last rush, Hill passed Brian McKenzie to become No. 10 in BYU history for career rush attempts with 386.

USU's Garretson connects with Robinson for 36 yards. An official was injured as Robinson was pushed into him going out of bounds.
— BYU Cougars News (@BYU_KSL) October 4, 2014
USU QB Darrell Garretson has a current passer rating of 202.6
— Greg Wrubell (@gregwrubell) October 4, 2014
Quick aside: BYU's royal blue uniforms are classics. They need to throw the navy blues in the garbage pronto.

Hella make outs@Mitch_Harper: LES music tonight feels like the old Studio 600 back in the day.
— KYLE F GUNTHER (@THEGUNTHER63) October 4, 2014
Looked like Taysom Hill got his ankle rolled up on. Limped off field. Christian Stewart in at QB.
— Jake Hatch (Yawk) jakehatch.bsky.social (@JacobCHatch) October 4, 2014
Ironically enough that is the exact same player who hurt Taysoms knee in the USU game two seasons ago.
— Alex Haws Kuresa 🇼🇸 (@Its_Rufio7) October 4, 2014
Now pumping up an air cast on the ankle. Damn it.
— P Norton (@P_Norton) October 4, 2014
Taysom Hill being driven to the locker room on a cart. Looks like a bad ankle injury. And Cougars down two TDs.
— Stewart Mandel (@slmandel) October 4, 2014
Here's the play where BYU QB Taysom Hill injured his left leg. He was carted off the field. pic.twitter.com/o7ihOhEAiZ

Taysom placed in air cast https://t.co/UxD9d8tCBr

After Jason Street got hurt, Matt Saercen won state. If it can happen in Friday Night Lights, why not Provo?
— Jeff Hansen (@rakoto10) October 4, 2014
Christian Stewart looks like Matt Saracen and has the same number. Time to step, 7. pic.twitter.com/mUUyVzph8J
— Jeff Hansen (@rakoto10) October 4, 2014
BYU QB Taysom Hill has a left leg fracture. He will not return. Further evaluations will be carried out later.

That Dam #2 out there hittin right now #BYUvsUSU ™©
— Tim McTyer, MSc. (@timmctyer) October 4, 2014
Taysom just walked out of the locker room and I think they're taking him out of the stadium. No good. pic.twitter.com/siat3Czpai
— Drew Troutner (@drewsky5) October 4, 2014
Nick Howell with a defensive adjustment to a four down front. Made a difference.
— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) October 4, 2014
Tough seeing Taysom Hill carted away with a leg injury. Such a good player. When will these coaches stop using QBs as RBs?
— Desmond Howard (@DesmondHoward) October 4, 2014
Nick Vigil is an effective two-way player. #USU would be foolish to not keep him in the running back rotation from here on out. #BYUvsUSU
— John Coon (@johncoonsports) October 4, 2014
So that thing I wrote today about BYU and the playoffs...
— Michael Collins (@MCFanSided) October 4, 2014
Yeah. Nevermind.
Utah State scored 40 points on FCS cellar-dweller Idaho State. Already 35 points on the road against BYU in the third quarter. #USUvsBYU
— Robbie Bullough (@RobbieBullough) October 4, 2014
To this point, BYU has been relatively healthy all season. It's all catching up tonight. Taysom, Leavitt, Kearsley.
— Lawless Republic (@LawlessRepublic) October 4, 2014
So, how bout those royals?! The baseball team, not BYU's unis. #changingsubject
— Lakia Holmes (@Lakia_Holmes) October 4, 2014
Happy right now USU doesnt have football fans, and that most Aggies dont have internet access.
— Vakaviti (@vakaviti) October 4, 2014
Like last year's USU game, the starting QB getting hurt didn't give up 35 points.
— Greg Welch (@ArtDirectorBYU) October 4, 2014
2014. The year of the BYU kickoff offside.
— Jarom Jordan (@jaromjordan) October 4, 2014
BYU is the most undisciplined football team in the country.
— Clark Schmutz (@Clarkpojo) October 4, 2014
Seriously @espn stop showing the Taysom Hill injury
— Doc 'I'm your huckleberry' Holliday (@ksav07) October 4, 2014
Add Alani Fua to the injury report. Lots of contributors/stars for #BYU going down in this game.
— Jake Hatch (Yawk) jakehatch.bsky.social (@JacobCHatch) October 4, 2014
Amazing. I thought in #BYU game worst injury was to the ref, and he's the one who got up and walked away.
— Chris Dufresne (@DufRankman) October 4, 2014
Sad to see the news that BYU QB Taysom Hill has a left leg fracture... Such a terrific player.

Aggie fans chanting "over rated". They have a point.
— Dick Harmon (@Harmonwrites) October 4, 2014
Great job by USU. Can't take a thing away from them in this game. They were playing well when Taysom was healthy. No excuses. Great game.
— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) October 4, 2014
Backup QB vs. Backup QB.

Victory - Utah State
Congrats to the Aggies for absolutely whooping us. Outplayed us in every aspect of the game. #AggieTearsOfJoy
