No. 1: #20 Boise State, 2015

Mangum: 17-28, 309 yards and two touchdowns; -49 rushing yards and one touchdown

For the second week in a row, Mangum connected on a Hail Mary touchdown pass.

On a 4th-and-7 with 50 seconds remaining (while out of field goal range), Mangum rolled out of the pocket and fired a nearly 40-yard strike to Mitch Juergens, who came down with it in the end zone. The score gave BYU football a 28-24 lead.

Kai Nacua would seal the win by returning his third interception on the night for a touchdown.
