Hill, with another leaping TD. at 13:44 BYU goes up 7-0 in 5 plays, 75 yards just over a minute.
— Dick Harmon (@Harmonwrites) October 4, 2014
I like Utah State’s “We forgot to wash our uniforms,” look. #BYUFootball #beatusu
— Prettyman (@GreggPrettyman) October 4, 2014
Looking at Jordan Leslie…the BYU weight & training program much better than at UTEP #USUvsBYU
— Daniel Freer (@DWFreer) October 4, 2014
What a start! Here’s how #TheHurdle Take 2 from @T_Hill4 sounded on the Network (@IMGAudio): http://t.co/vRKGQ3nxNT. #USUvsBYU @BYUCougars

Just when BYU’s defense is looking a little shaky they go and do something like that! And totally redeem themselves!

This is what radical looks like #USUvsBYU pic.twitter.com/uX3EITPOGc

Actually, BYU playing sides in the secondary.

Devon Blackmon fielding the punt. Coaches are feeling more confident in Blackmon each week. He will continue to get more PT every week.
— Mitch Harper (@Mitch_Harper) October 4, 2014
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 (@GuntherKFAN) October 4, 2014
#BYU is making this USU linebacker look like Hershel Walker.
— Erik (@efount) October 4, 2014
Utah St fans look like the ugly stupid version of BYU fans
— MACeyMACMAC (@MACtheSPORK) October 4, 2014
End of the 1st quarter: BYU 7, Utah State 7. Does this game smell like 2008 BYU-USU?
— Mitch Harper (@Mitch_Harper) October 4, 2014
Two passes to Matthews and second goes for 25-yard TD strike.
— Dick Harmon (@Harmonwrites) October 4, 2014
BYU QB that man, its gone be him or Gurley 4 da Heisman
— Audie Farley (@_Farley8) October 4, 2014
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.
— LostLettermen.com (@LostLettermen) October 4, 2014
Hella make outs @Mitch_Harper: LES music tonight feels like the old Studio 600 back in the day.
— KYLE F GUNTHER (@GuntherKFAN) October 4, 2014
Looked like Taysom Hill got his ankle rolled up on. Limped off field. Christian Stewart in at QB.
— Jake Hatch (@JakeHatch77) 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
If Taysom is done, you can kiss the season goodbye.
— CougarCenter Podcast (@Cougar_Center) October 4, 2014
Now pumping up an air cast on the ankle. Damn it.
— P Norton (@P_Norton) October 4, 2014
Taysom Hill hurt: http://t.co/Wz6mnTNWk9 pic.twitter.com/t6XRoPsvdu
— SB✯Nation CFB (@SBNationCFB) 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. http://t.co/o7ihOhEAiZ
— Dr. Saturday (@YahooDrSaturday) October 4, 2014
Taysom placed in air cast https://t.co/UxD9d8tCBr
— Dave Noriega (@davenoriega) October 4, 2014
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 ™© (@timmctyer) October 4, 2014
BYU crowd getting rowdy is what we need. The defense needs all the help they can get.
— Stevie_RSLTID (@Stevie_RSLTID) 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
Just not going our way. Not #STU‘s fault
— Bradford Huntsman (@BYU2NFL) October 4, 2014
Nick Howell with a defensive adjustment to a four down front. Made a difference.
— Hans Olsen (@975Hans) October 4, 2014
It’s the royal blue uniforms. Last year against Utah, and now this year against Utah State. Blame the royal blue unis. @TheRealTO
— Richard Briggs (@BriggsRich) 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
That does it, Jamaal Williams and Nick Vigil must arm wrestle at midfield
— Jason Kirk (@JasonKirkSBN) 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… Yeah. Nevermind.
— Michael Collins (@GaSportsCraze) October 4, 2014
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
BYU fans: I will drink for you tonight
— Landthieves (@LandThieves) October 4, 2014
Fred Warner is a player. After what I’ve seen tonight, #34 at weak side and Kaufusi back at DE should be considered.
— Mitch Harper (@Mitch_Harper) 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
I’m now seeing #FireBronco tweets, which is just stupid as hell.
— Matt Brown (@MattSBN) October 4, 2014
So, how bout those royals?! The baseball team, not BYU’s unis. #changingsubject
— Lakia Holmes (@lakia4) October 4, 2014
Remember all those morons that thought Stewart was a better passer than hill….bwhahaahhaaaa! Sad times for cougar fans
— Justin Sweeney (@justindsweeney) October 4, 2014
Happy right now USU doesnt have football fans, and that most Aggies dont have internet access.
— Vakaviti (@vakaviti) October 4, 2014
@T_Hill4 so sorry! Keep your head up & use this to make yourself better. Let me know if you need anything,
— luke staley (@staley26) 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
— Kameron S (@ksav07) October 4, 2014
Add Alani Fua to the injury report. Lots of contributors/stars for #BYU going down in this game.
— Jake Hatch (@JakeHatch77) October 4, 2014
ESPN showing replays of the BYU injuries tonight and the reel has lasted roughly 20 minutes.
— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) 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 (@DufresneLATimes) October 4, 2014
Sad to see the news that BYU QB Taysom Hill has a left leg fracture… Such a terrific player.
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) October 4, 2014
Welp. Can’t say I’m too surprised. #BYU was sliding by to this point

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
— Prettyman (@GreggPrettyman) October 4, 2014
Congrats to the Aggies for absolutely whooping us. Outplayed us in every aspect of the game. #AggieTearsOfJoy
