BYU's Hall is MWC Offensive Player of the Week
BYU quarterback Max Hall is the Mountain West Conference Offensive Player of the Week, the league announced this morning.
Hall led the Cougars to a 28-27 win over Washington, BYU's 12th-straight win, by completing 30 of 41 passes for 338 yards and three touchdowns. It was the second-straight week Hall has thrown for 300 or more yards.
During the Cougars' opening drive of the game, Hall completed 6-of-6 attempts for 80 yards, including a 38-yard pass to Austin Collie to give BYU an early 7-0 lead. In the first quarter alone, Hall completed 10-of-12 passes for 110 yards. And in the final quarter of the game, Hall completed another 10 passes for 140 yards, including the game-winning touchdown pass -- a 15-yard bullet to Dennis Pitta in the end zone. One of the most impressive elements to Hall's performance on Saturday was his efficiency during third-down situations. Hall led the Cougars to 12-of-14 third-down conversions by completing 10-of-12 attempts for 149 yards.
On the season, Hall ranks second in the nation with 824 yards passing. Averaging 412 yards per game, Hall is on pace to pass for more than 4,900 yards this season. He has completed more than 78 percent of his passes.

BYU's block of a 35-yard extra-point attempt with two seconds remaining is candidate for the Pontiac Game Changing Performance award, along with three other plays from the weekend's college football game.
Fans can go to pontiac.com/ncaa to view the video clips of the four finalists and vote for their favorite.
Voting began Sunday and ends at midnight on Wednesday. ESPN will anounce this week's winner on Thursday night during the Pontiac G6 Halftime Report.
The winning university will earn a $5,000 contribution from Pontiac to their general scholarship fund. Additionally, the winning play will be nominated for the Pontiac Game Changing Performance of the Year award and the chance to win a $100,000 general scholarship contribution from Pontiac.

BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall just wrapped up his Monday morning press conference. I will be posting a recap of that in an hour or so.
