BYU QB Taysom Hill out for the season with foot injury

BYU quarterback Taysom Hill will miss the rest of the 2015 season after suffering a foot injury during the season opener against Nebraska.

Coach Bronco Mendenhall announced following the Cougars’ 33-28 win that Hill suffered the injury after his 21-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. Hill went to the locker room briefly, but was back after an eight-play Nebraska series and four plays by backup Tanner Mangum.

He came back and seemingly played unaffected but left the game again early in the fourth quarter and didn’t return.

Hill missed most of last season after breaking his left leg and damaging ligaments in his ankle against in a loss to Utah State.

As a freshman, Hill suffered a season-ending knee injury.

Before leaving Saturday’s game, Hill completed 21-of-34 passes for 268 yards and touchdown and rushed for 72 yards and two scores.
