BYU Starting QB Taysom Hill Out for the year with a broken foot
Outside of whatever OSU QB, he might be the best QB we face this year. Michigan might catch a break if Hill is still out against them on 9/26.
Get well soon my friend. Edit I had the wrong date. EDIT#2 per ESPN he's done for the year and BYU message boards. http://www.cougarboard.com/board/message.html?id=14517988

The landscape of your game with BYU changed today but not because of Taysom Hill. I think this will be the end of him in football. He's a Econ/Finance guy and has an open offer from the VC firm he interned with this year. I think he's gone. You play on Sunday if you recover from leg injuries, not foot injuries.
What I think will be the biggest loss for BYU when they meet you is the loss of Travis Tuiloma at NG. Bronco announced that Tuiloma is out 4-6 weeks with an unspecified knee injury. In watching the game Tuiloma limped off of the field which makes me think sprain or cartilage, not tear of a ligament.
Tuiloma isn't huge like most NGs but he has amazing lower body strength. He's the not the kind of NG that is going to push guys into the backfield, rather he's the boulder in the middle of the stream that just stops the middle from moving and clogs everything up. That being said, he still has the lateral quickness that if you try to counter him by sweeping he can push a guard into the tackle and blow plays up that way. Pick your poison.
After Tuiloma went out today NU ran the middle with little trouble. I think your chances of being able to run on BYU went up considerably today. I have heard that RB play is an issue and it looked like it on Thursday. Tuilloma's injury may shift the advantage your way.

Welcome back. We'll both be rooting for Michigan against BYU. It would be awesome to see Utah take a run at the Pac 12 South. Gotta go through UCLA though . . . yikes, Rosen looks scary.

Whomever created this schedule for BYU should be slapped.This is too much. Three road games spread all across the country vs top 30-35 teams with Boise State at home in the middle.
As glorious as yesterday had to be for them it seems like the perfect football equivalent of a Pyrrhic victory.

Wow. Got to feel for the kid. He just can't stay healthy. Hate to see so many injuries.

Feel bad for this kid. Hope he heals well and gets back to football.

I was not overly impressed. He got lucky several times and was bailed out by his tall receivers. He also was not gameplanned for by Nebraska.
He led them to ten points, the touchdown coming on a hail mary. That isn't impressive at all considering he played half the game.

I didn't read the entire thread so I apologize if this was already mentioned.
Last I read yesterday there was talk that BYU would bring Hill back next season if this isn't a career ending injury.
