PROVO, Utah – The BYU football team went up to play the Boise State Broncos on the blue turf and walked away with a thrilling 31-28 win.

Let’s answer some burning questions from a critical win that snaps a four-game losing streak.

Who was the most valuable player for BYU football?

It’s hard to ignore a career-high 377 passing yards for Jaren Hall.

He also led multiple fourth-quarter scoring drives.

However, Puka Nacua stood out as the most valuable player with a career-high 14 catches for 157 yards.

Nacua is one of the best players on the team, and offensive Aaron Roderick made sure to get the football as often as possible.

I love how Roderick dialed up a play meant for Nacua on the most important offensive play of the game.

Get the ball to your best players in key moments.

That’s exactly what BYU did against Boise State, and it paid off.

What was the most impactful play of the game?

The final play of the first half was an officiating blunder, and there’s no doubt it had an impact on the game.

With one second remaining, Kalani Sitake elected to try and score a touchdown, rather than attempt a field goal from the one-yard line.

Lopini Katoa ran the ball in the middle of the defense and appeared to land on top of the goal line, resulting in a touchdown.

Hall carried the ball 11 times for 81 yards and a touchdown as well.

This is a completely different offense when Hall is making things happen with his legs.

I think it’s safe to say this season would have played out differently had Hall not been injured against Utah State.

When was the game won for BYU football?

Even after the miraculous Puka Nacua touchdown, Boise State had nearly two minutes to win the game.

The Cougar defense needed to make a play.

Jakob Robinson made that play, breaking up a pass and sealing the win for BYU
