When Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Taysom Hill took the reins from an injured senior Riley Nelson against Boise State, Hill followed in the footsteps of a BYU legend.
Taysom Hill filled in for an injured (back) senior Riley Nelson in the third quarter of the fourth game of 2012 at Boise State. On his 4 of 10 pass attempts, Hill had 42 yards. He also carried the ball 12 times for 72 yards and 1 touchdown. That gave Hill 114 yards of total offense.
Young started the next game in 1981 against Utah State. He completed 21 of 40 passes for 307 yards and 1 touchdown with 1 interception. He carried the ball 21 times for 63 yards.
Oh yeah, BYU won 32-26.
