BYU had a strong showing during the Week 13 slate of games in the NFL. Former Cougars all across the league made an impact for their teams.
Hill made his first start at quarterback this season, replacing the ineffective Trevor Siemian. He faced off against the Cowboys under the bright lights of Thursday Night Football. Throughout the game, it was a roller coaster experience with Hill behind center. At times, he looked comfortable in the role of starting quarterback, throwing darts all over the field. He completed 19 passes out of 41 attempts for 264 yards and two passing touchdowns.
