BYU went 8-7 in games that Hill did not play in after his injuries.
"He is just a winner," said sophomore center Tejan Koroma. "He is just going to figure out a way to win. That's the thing about Taysom. He is just going to do whatever he needs to do."
Hill said he was ready to play and 100 percent recovered from the injury when preseason camp began on Aug. 8, and he reiterated that Tuesday, saying he's never felt better. And he is hungry to prove that he has NFL potential against the Cornhuskers' famed Blackshirts defense.
