Best of Twitter: BYU vs. Nevada
By Jeff Hansen
From my interview with Bronco tonight: no Jamaal, no Hine, no Blackmon, no Bills, no Fua, no Kearsley. Leavitt available as backup to Nacua.

Nevada will start the football game at their 25yd line after the touchback on the opening kickoff #BYUFOOTBALL #BYUvsNEV

Kai Nacua and Harvey Langi both make their first career starts tonight against Nevada. #BYU #BYUvsNEV

Give up points then go 3-and-out. Not a good start for BYU.
— Ben Wilson (@BTW_Napoleon) October 19, 2014
I blinked and we were punting. #wut

Don't wanna give Stewart any easy throws to make. Might make him move the ball.
— Teeps (@SportsGuyRyan) October 19, 2014
After a 3 and out last drive, BYU has 3 plays and 3 first downs this drive.

Dear BYU football coaches:

Nobody cares if Stewart runs. The read option only works if people care if the QB runs. FYI.
Love,
Me
Ziggy was from Ghana, Jamaal was 17 and Lasike plays rugby. #WhatHasESPNTaughtYou

Paul Lasike takes a swing pass, bowls past a Nevada defender and rumbles in for the 20 yard TD. Reminiscent of his rugby play vs. Navy.

Bro # 10 on BYU needs to get a bigger jersey cause crop tops are so last season.

Paul Lasike legs look like some redwood trees! Who gon try to taccle some redwood trees?

James Butler caps Nevada's drive with a 10-yard touchdown drive.

Stewart now looks confident and is making good throws. Great touch on the TD toss to Mathews. #BYU 21, UNR 10 2nd Q
— Andrew Adams (@AndrewAdamsKSL) October 19, 2014
On BYU's first possession, we saw the read option on 1st and 2nd down. Bob learned. Good Bob, Good.

Fire Mick Hill tonight #BYU we must have the worst shoes in college football we have more damn ankle injuries than any team in the country!!
— @Big12Conference (@lhcoug) October 19, 2014
Stew to Mathews again...TD Cougars!
— Jason Shepherd (@jsnshep) October 19, 2014
Mitch Mathews with his second TD of the night, fifth of the season. His five TDs this season is a career high.

Nevada's QB's name sounds like a derogatory term I would use. "That dude is a real Fajardo!"#BYU vs #Nevada
— Brent Fox (@BrentRFox) October 19, 2014
If BYU loses, it can be traced directly back to the failure to wrap up Fajardo on 3rd and 18. #genealogy
— Mark Durrant (@DurrantMark) October 19, 2014
Can't get past the name of the new BYU QB. Every time his name is said I see crappy acting and sparkly vampires. Can he get a nickname? #byu
— Joni Newman 🇺🇦🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ (@jonimnewman) October 19, 2014
I never watch or cheer for BYU but that bleach blonde mullet guy for Nevada makes me angry just looking at him. #BYUvsNEV
— Stephanie Marie (@steffiej) October 19, 2014
I saw this same game last week. Up two scores and BYU goes flat and/or turns the ball over.
— Dave Johnson (@DaveJohnsonY) October 19, 2014
This BYU team is absolutely embarrassing.
— Obi-Wan Ginóbili (@YaBoyDewy) October 19, 2014
@LawlessRepublic When a QB has 15 seconds to sit back and throw, you can't blame it on the DB. Our QB pressure is pitiful.
— MantiCoug (@MantiCoug) October 19, 2014
Nevada's Fajardo throws an 18-yard touchdown pass and completes his two-point conversion pass to tie the game, 28-28 with 11:18 left.
— BYU Cougars News (@BYU_KSL) October 19, 2014
Tom Holmoe called this a 'pivotal' game. "I don't want to say it's a must win" but we all know it is.

UNR coaches winning the halftime adjustment battle...
— Brandon Gurney (@BrandonCGurney) October 19, 2014
Fajardo's running ability has kicked in during the 2nd half. Now 6 rushes for 36, 2 TD's. Timely runs. Nevada up 35-28. #BYUSN
— Jarom Jordan (@jaromjordan) October 19, 2014
Mahina scored 2 TD's last week of course they don't go back to him this game
— Casey Finlinson (@Findaddy81) October 19, 2014
30 points plus given up in 4 games... Goodnight
— Kyle Van Noy (@KVN_03) October 19, 2014
Nice Job Stewart - that was tough
— Brian Child (@BYUSportsCave) October 19, 2014
I don't think firing Bronco makes any sense, I just wish he'd come out and say the goals are to win each week, compete nationally, & promote
— Coach Bart Jernigan (@CoachJernigan) October 19, 2014
Fans aren't taking this well. At all. Boos. Fire bronco chants. It's bad. I will stand and raise my flag with pride. Always a fan. #BYU
— Pooh (@bigunclepooh) October 19, 2014
This is where Coach Howell can make his mark. Huge series.
— Vic So'oto (@Coach_Sooto) October 19, 2014
Bronson makes his best read of the night and stops Fajardo on 3rd down. Assuming UNR punts (Fajardo on field?) BYU gets one more shot.
— Lawless Republic (@LawlessRepublic) October 19, 2014
Stew is going to give BYU a chance. Across midfield with 1:01 to go.
— Lawless Republic (@LawlessRepublic) October 19, 2014
Stewart fumbles, Nevada takes over...game over.
— Jason Shepherd (@jsnshep) October 19, 2014
FINAL: Nevada 42, BYU 35.
