Seniors Taysom Hill and Jamaal Williams led BYU football to a 31-14 win over Michigan State on the road on Saturday with a big second-half effort.
The Cougars (3-3) outgained the Spartans (2-3) 398 to 206 in total yards. The BYU defense held Michigan State to its lowest output since 187 against No. 13 Nebraska in 2011. The rushing attack churned up 260 yards on the ground, the fourth time this season with 200-plus rushing yards. After being down 7-3 at the half, BYU scored touchdowns on its first four possessions of the second half and held the Spartans to one late score in the fourth quarter.
Taysom Hill completed 18 of 27 passes for 138 yards and one touchdown along with rushing 47 yards and one touchdown. Jamaal Williams tallied 163 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the win.
Michigan State marched down the field on its first possession. Draining the clock, the Spartans scored on an 8-yard rush with 4:10 left in the first quarter to take the early 7-0 lead. To end the first half, the Cougars had the ball to try to get on the board. After Hill rushed 11 yards to convert on third down, Rhett Almond kicked a 35-yard field goal to make it 7-3 heading into the break.
In BYU's ensuing possession, the offense drained 7:29 from the clock as it methodically moved down the field. Colby Pearson caught a 4-yard pass from Hill for the Cougars' first touchdown. BYU took the 10-7 lead with 4:52 left in the third quarter. Later, on 4th and 1, Hill found Quin Ficklin rolling out from being an extra blocker for a gain of 2 yards and the first down. Hill then found an opening and rushed 12 yards into the end zone to push the lead to 17-7 with 12:43 to play.
Following a fourth down conversion by Michigan State, Michael Davis picked off backup quarterback Damion Terry. Davis returned it 40 yards to put the offense in a good position with 9:29 on the clock. Williams cashed in on the turnover, carrying the ball 8 yards for another touchdown. The Cougars' lead extended to 24-7 with eight minutes to play.
Michigan State was able to score after allowing 24 unanswered points from BYU. The Spartans capped off a 75-yard drive with a 1-yard rush to make it 24-14 with 4:59 on the clock. After a 62-yard rush by Williams to get into the blue zone, Hill handed it off to Williams again for a 1-yard rush for his second touchdown on the day. With 1:59 to play, BYU was up 31-14, which would hold as the final score.
