Brigham Young 38, Georgia Tech 20: Taysom Hill passed for 244 yards and a touchdown and also rushed for a score as the host Cougars downed the Yellow Jackets.

Vad Lee scored on a 2-yard run for the Yellow Jackets but struggled for most of the contest. The sophomore quarterback was 7-for-20 for 133 yards and rushed for 41 yards on 21 attempts before being pulled.

Hill connected with Hoffman on a 45-yard scoring play in the opening quarter and Williams’ 2-yard run gave BYU a 14-7 edge with 5:47 left in the stanza. Hill’s 1-yard run pushed the Cougars’ lead to 24-10 with 4:53 left in the half before Georgia Tech’s Harrison Butker kicked a 44-yard field goal with 59 seconds left.

Fua’s interception return essentially iced the contest with 11:01 remaining. Algernon Brown added a 15-yard scoring run with 3:11 left to stretch the lead to 38-13.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Hoffman caught five passes to tie the school record of 221 held by Dennis Pitta and the touchdown reception was his 29th, tying Eric Drage for second in that category. … The Yellow Jackets rushed for 242 yards, 58 below their average. … Hill has thrown four touchdown passes over the past two games after having just one in BYU’s first four contests.
