BYU quarterback Taysom Hill once again put on a clinic in last week’s 33-25 win over Houston. Hill completed 21-of-34 passes for 200 yards with one touchdown and also rushed for 160 yards and an addition score on 26 carries. He did throw two interceptions in the win, but the Cougars still managed to win the game and jump four spots in the rankings from No. 25 to No. 21.

Running back Kevin Parks was also held in check as he only rushed for 66 yards on 22 carries.
