No. 18 BYU loses QB, and game to Utah State

Backup quarterback Darell Garretson threw for 321 yards and three touchdowns, leading Utah State to a 35-20 upset of No. 18 Brigham Young on Friday night at Provo, Utah.

BYU quarterback Taysom Hill, a Heisman Trophy hopeful, broke his left leg late in the first half and is probably done for the season. Without him, the Cougars (4-1) never recovered from a 28-14 halftime deficit on a night when former star quarterback Jim McMahon had his No. 9 jersey retired.

Garretson, a sophomore who took over for injured Chuckie Keeton in the second half of a Week 3 win over Wake Forest, also ran for a score. He was 14 for 17 for 257 yards and three touchdowns in the first half.
