Video: How BYU reacted when the team saw Taysom Hill after the game
The BYU locker room following the Cougars' win over Nebraska wasn't as cheery as its on-field celebration.
The locker room celebration became somber when the team saw quarterback Taysom Hill, who had been injured earlier in the game. Tests showed Hill had suffered a Lisfranc injury to his right foot during the game and he would have to miss the rest of the season.
It's an emotional video; you can see how it's hit the team that Hill's career is over.
The season-ending injury is the third one Hill has suffered in his career. He had a knee injury as a freshman and suffered a gruesome left-leg fracture that ended his season prematurely in 2014. As a senior, 2015 was set to be his last hurrah at BYU. And while he was a vital contributor to a surprise win – he had over 300 total yards and three touchdowns – he wasn't on the field for BYU's final play.
Coach Bronco Mendenhall, who gives Hill the game ball in the video above, said after the game that there's no player he's coached he respects more than Hill.
