Mangum passes BYU past Utah State 51-28

LOGAN, Utah (AP) — Tanner Mangum threw four touchdown passes and BYU beat Utah State 51-28 on Saturday.

Mangum was 16 of 30 for 284 yards and became the first BYU freshman to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season. Mitch Mathews had 158 yards receiving and two scores, including a 72-yarder for his longest career reception. He went over 2,000 career yards and tied a school season record with 11 TD catches.

Mangum’s 35-yard TD pass to Mathews gave BYU a 31-21 lead in the third quarter and Francis Bernard added a 10-yard scoring run after Bronson Kaufusi’s second blocked kick. This season, Kaufusi has four blocked kicks and BYU a national-leading eight.

Chuckie Keeton threw his 61st career TD pass for the Aggies (6-6) and also scored on a 52-yard option keeper. Keeton was 20 of 45 for 243 yards. Hunter Sharp had 100 yards receiving.

BYU (9-3) ended the Aggies’ 14-game home win streak.

Boise St 40, San Jose St 23:

Jeremy McNichols scored three touchdowns, including a school-record 88-yard run, and Boise State ran away from San Jose State 40-23 on Friday.

McNichols added a 19-yard TD carry in the fourth as the Broncos (8-4, 5-3 Mountain West) turned a one-score game into an easy win. McNichols finished with 192 yards — a career high and seventhstraight 100-yard day. He also had six receptions for 40 yards and a touchdown.

San Jose State (5-7, 4-4) led 10-9 at halftime, courtesy of Kenny Potter’s 35-yard touchdown pass to Billy Freeman — and a missed Broncos extra point attempt.

But Boise State used a 14-play, 97-yard drive that took up 6:41 of the third quarter — culminating in Brett Rypien’s 5-yard toss to McNichols — to take the lead for good. Rypien finished 25 of 33 for 197 yards and two touchdown passes.

Potter was 28 of 41 for 336 yards and three touchdowns for the Spartans, but was intercepted twice.

Wyoming 35, UNLV 28: Brian Hill rushed for 232 yards and a touchdown, setting a school record for rushing yards in a season, and Cameron Coffman tossed three touchdown passes as Wyoming beat UNLV 35-28 Saturday.

Wyoming (2-10, 2-6 Mountain West) avoided setting a school record for losses in the season with the win.

It was Hill’s fifth 200-yard game of his career and fourth of the season.

Hill finished the season with 1,631 rushing yards. Wyoming’s previous rushing record was 1,455 yards set by Ryan Christopherson in 1994.

Hill broke the record with a 72-yard TD run on a third-and-2 play in the second quarter.

Coffman completed 14 of 24 passes for 248 yards. His final TD pass, a 64-yarder to Jacob Hollister with 2:20 left in the game, broke a 28-28 tie.

UNLV (3-9, 2-6) was led by Blake Decker who passed for 270 yards and three TDs.
