BYU football: Cougars use strong second quarter to take 24-14 halftime lead over Nebraska

BYU used a 17-0 scoring run in the second quarter to take a 24-14 lead into halftime against Nebraska at Memorial Stadium.

Senior quarterback Taysom Hill has looked strong in the first half, completing 17-of-25 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown in the first 30 minutes. He has also rushed for 37 yards and two touchdowns and completed passes to eight different receivers.

BYU had a scary moment after Hill's second touchdown run, as he headed to the locker room and backup freshman Tanner Mangum took over for a few plays. Mangum showed poised, completing his only pass for nine yards and taking one run for nine yards.
