Talmage Gunther making the play of his career recovering that onside kick. Was named special teams MVP out of fall camp. Former QB in high school, he's a great athlete.#BYUvsHOU #BYU #BYUFootball

To come away with zero points after an onside kick is not optimal for #BYU.

Wilson now has 400 yards passing after his 4th TD pass of the game. Its his first career 400 yard game. First 400 yard passing game by a #BYU QB since 2014.
— Sam Farnsworth (@Samsworth_KSL) October 17, 2020
Zach Wilson is now 25/35 for 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. He also leads BYU in rushing with 40 yards. If BYU pulls out the W, Wilson is the reason.#BYU #GoCougs #BYUFOOTBALL #BYUvsHOU @kslsports
