PROVO, Utah -- The criticisms of Taysom Hill ran deep in 2016 as the dual-threat quarterback just hasnt quite looked like the same dynamic player that was a Heisman candidate 2013. Season-ending injuries in 2014 and 2015 seemed to take their toll.Mississippi State may think differently after Hill threw for three touchdowns, including the game-winner in double-overtime to give BYU a 28-21 win over the Bulldogs on Friday night.Thats the mentality of our team, well do whatever it takes, said Hill, with a large bruise on his biceps and a bloodied hand. I think we showcased that tonight. There were definitely times where it would have been easy for us to get down offensively and we didnt. We were resilient and we kept fighting and we got the win in overtime.Fans stormed the field as MSU quarterback Nick Fitzgerald threw an incomplete pass in the end zone on fourth down to end the game. It was the first time Hill has thrown for three touchdowns since the 2014 season opener.The BYU (4-3) offense couldnt get much going most of the night, but Hill hit Moroni Laulu-Pututau for a 15-yard touchdown on third-and-goal with 13:15 left in the game to tie things at 14-14.Fitzgerald struck first in overtime with a 2-yard touchdown run, but Hill answered with a quarterback sneak of his own to send it into double overtime. He then threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Tanner Balderree on the first snap of double overtime.Hill finished with 165 passing yards, 53 rushing yards and four total touchdowns. Running back Jamaal Williams ran for 76 yards and set the school career rushing record at 3,468.These guys will play till the clock says zero and it said zero, BYU coach Kalani Sitake said. So, they played extra downs. Just really pleased with the resiliency of our players.Mississippi State (2-4) led 14-7 at halftime thanks to a defense that held BYU to 126 first half yards, including just 45 through the air.The Bulldogs scored first with a 44-yard touchdown pass from Fitzgerald to Keith Mixon on a run-pass option to the left. Fitzgerald punched it in on a 1-yard rush later for the 14-7 lead.Fitzgerald threw for 214 yards and one touchdown and two interceptions. He also ran for 41 yards and two touchdowns.I think we played more than a complete game tonight, Fitzgerald said. Thats something I dont think weve done until now, so that was something good to see. We just couldnt chug it out at the end.THE TAKEAWAYMississippi State: The disastrous season continues for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State is now two games under .500, including losses to South Alabama, Auburn and BYU. The defense held up until overtime, but Fitzgerald threw two bad interceptions. The second came in the fourth quarter in field goal range.BYU: The Cougars are riding high after three consecutive victories, including one over a Big Ten program and now one against the SEC, the first time theyve ever beaten a SEC team at home. Hill looked like an improved passer and the defense kept the opponent to 21 or fewer points for the fifth time this season.RECORD HOLDERSeveral rows of students held up a giant sheet-like banner with a picture of Williams after he broke the record while the rest of the student section broke out placards with his No. 21 on it.Happy-happy, not happy-sad, Williams said about getting the record and the win. Im grateful to get it. Give credit to everybody blocking for me my whole career. I wish I could put Jamaal Williams and everybody else, put them before my name.I feel like Im on Taysom (Hill) level now. ... It hit a warm spot in my heart to see the numbers up and the banner.QUOTABLEWe didnt win, Mississippi State coach Dan Mullen said. Theres no positives.UP NEXTMississippi State: The Bulldogs travel to face Kentucky in SEC action October 22.BYU: The Cougars travel to face No. 15 Boise State on October 20.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- The ever-changing New England defense, still searching for answers, hopes to build on last weeks effort when the Patriots visit the New York Jets this Sunday.The Patriots sacked San Franciscos Colin Kaepernick five times -- all in the first half -- in a 30-17 win over the 49ers after getting 16 sacks in the previous nine games.Thats what weve been trying to do all year is get after the quarterback, continue to put pressure on him to make bad decisions, defensive lineman Trey Flowers, who leads the team with four sacks, said Wednesday. Last week it was definitely a step forward in the right direction.Since the end of last season, New England has sported a defense in transition. It started in the offseason when the Patriots dealt sacks leader Chandler Jones to Arizona. Then, Rob Ninkovich, second in sacks in 2015, was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the leagues drug policy.During the season, Jamie Collins, weeks after winning AFC defensive player of the week honors, was exiled to Cleveland. Last week, Jabaal Sheard, who started the first eight games and had 3+ sacks, second on the team, was left off the traveling squad and was at the Celtics game Friday night while his team was on the West Coast.Then, this week, a report surfaced that Alan Branch, seventh on the team in tackles, was about to be hit with a four-game drug suspension -- and that he was appealing. He was still at practice this week.The Patriots 21 sacks are 10 off the league lead, and they have forced just seven turnovers on defense, none in the last three games, four of them in the second game of the season against Miami.The constant changes led to Kyle Van Noy making his Patriots debut last week, almost a month after he was acquired from Detroit -- and he had a sack, matching his two plus-season total with the Lions.I was happy to play, happy to contribute, Vann Noy said Wednesday.ddddddddddddellow linebacker Shea McLellin,a free agent signing in the spring, made his first start with the team. And rookie linebacker Elandon Roberts, a sixth-round draft pick, is getting all kinds of playing time and has 26 tackles.The secondary has been torched too often. The Patriots have five interceptions on the season, two by the departed Collins.On his regular Tuesday conference call, defensive coordinator Matt Patricia bristled at a question concerning frustration over Collins and Sheard, and looking for answers this late in a season.Its getting toward Thanksgiving, he said. Were going to try to play our best football here moving forward with whoever is out there and try to get better no matter what. I certainly, me as a coach, Ill answer that one, always look at myself first, and Ill always try to make sure Im doing everything I can to help our team prepare to win, and do the best job I can week in and week out, which is what I really try to do.From that standpoint, those guys know that. Were always trying to do whatever it takes to help the team win.Game notes tom Brady skipped practice, not an unusual occurrence for the 39-year-old quarterback who was listed on the injury report as not participating (knee). Star TE Rob Gronkowski (chest) did practice. ... Patriots coach Bill Belichick, asked about the struggling Darrelle Revis, his former cornerback, said Wednesday, You just go back to our game (last year) -- really, he had a big interception against us down there. I would never underestimate that player. Hes got good skills, hes a good competitor. I would never underestimate him. ...
