BYU QB Taysom Hill hurdled a Texas defender on a sweet TD run (Video)

After a tumultuous week full of injuries, suspensions and a dismissal, Texas struggled at home against BYU.

BYU took a 6-0 lead on two Trevor Samson field goals in the first half. When it received the opening kickoff in the second half, Cougars quarterback Taysom Hill decided his team was not going to be kept out of the end zone any longer.

Hill completed two passes and had two solid runs to bring his team into Texas territory. Then on a second-and-8 from the Texas 30-yard line, Hill took a snap and felt pressure from the Texas defense surrounding him. He took off running and accelerated toward the end zone. With one man to beat, Hill executed an epic hurdle over a Texas defender just past the 10-yard line and coasted in for a score.

Take a look:

The impressive 30-yard touchdown run put the Cougars up 13-0 and was the first of four BYU touchdowns in the third quarter.

Ultimately, the Cougars went on to win 41-7.
