				<title><![CDATA[Hall throws five TDs as BYU survives]]></title>
				<description><![CDATA[FORT COLLINS, Colorado (Ticker) -- Max Hall went from goat to 
hero in the final two minutes.

Hall's fifth touchdown pass - a 17-yard strike to Dennis Pitta -
lifted 17th-ranked Brigham Young to a 45-42 victory over 
Colorado State on Saturday.

"When it comes down to it, we make the plays that we need to to 
win the game," Hall said. "That's what we did tonight."

Hall's heroics came about 90 seconds after tossing an 
interception, which led to Dion Morton's 55-yard TD reception 
that gave the Rams a 42-38 edge with 1:44 remaining.

Hall, who passed for 389 yards, then orchestrated a six-play, 
76-yard game-winning drive.

"It came down to which team could execute one more play than the
other to win the football game," BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall 
said.  "Certainly (there were) plenty of mistakes that occurred 
by both teams on both sides of the ball to make it interesting."

"I felt pretty confident going out there and I think by that 
time in the game, late in the fourth quarter, I knew exactly 
what they were going to run," Hall added.

Pitta hauled in 12 catches for 175 yards and two scores and 
Austin Collie added nine receptions for 156 yards and three TDs 
for the Cougars (8-1, 4-1 MWC), who have won back-to-back 
contests.

Harvey Unga broke a 40-yard run with 5:49 left in the final 
period to give BYU a 38-35 edge.  The Cougars' defense then made
a critical fourth-down stand on the ensuing possession, which 
seemed to seal the win.

But on third down, Hall was intercepted by Gerard Thomas, who 
scampered down the sidelines and into the end zone.  The return 
was called back because of an illegal block but that did not 
deter Colorado State.

On the next play, Billy Farris launched a deep pass to Morton, 
who broke a tackle and sprinted into the end zone for the 
go-ahead score.

"I feel like we're really coming together as a team," Farris 
said.  "If we can keep growing and getting better, and take a 
lot from this game, we're going to be a really good team by the 
end of the season."

Hall took over at the BYU 24 and completed four first-down 
passes to four different players.  He finished the drive with a 
check-down completion to Pitta, who powered his way into the end
zone with 22 ticks remaining.

"Max threw a great ball, high and away," Pitta said.  
"Fortunately, I was able to go up and make a great play and 
barrel in to the end zone."

Unga finished with 133 yards on 24 carries for the Cougars, who 
racked up 551 yards and overcame three turnovers.

Farris passed for 251 yards and three scores, Gartrell Johnson 
had 102 rushing yards and a touchdown and Morton made six 
catches for 129 yards and two TDs for the Rams (4-5, 2-3).

"We're obviously disappointed that we weren't able to win the 
football game tonight," Colorado State coach Steve Fairchild 
said.  "We definitely had our chances.  I liked our effort."]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[(17) Brigham Young (7-1) at Colorado State (4-4), 6:00 pm EDT

FORT COLLINS, Colorado (Ticker) -- Brigham Young might be 
wondering what happened to its defense that was so dominant 
earlier in the season.

After surviving a huge scare against Nevada-Las Vegas, the 
17th-ranked Cougars head on the road Saturday to visit Colorado 
State.

BYU needed a late score last week to escape with a 42-35 victory
over the UNLV and keep alive hopes for a third straight Mountain
West Conference title.

But after giving up just 62 points in the first six games of the
season, the Cougars have surrendered 67 in the last two games.  
On October 16, BYU suffered a 32-7 loss at TCU that snapped its 
16-game winning streak, which had been the longest active run in
the Football Bowl Subdivision.

Last week, the Cougars (7-1, 3-1 Mountain West) allowed more 
than 300 yards passing for the first time since surrendering 454
yards to Tulsa's Paul Smith in 2006.

"We are still working to find the right identity and right mix 
on defense," BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said.  "Our emphasis 
has been to limit points, and that's worked well up until the 
past two games."

BYU's offense was able to get back on track after scoring only 
seven points at TCU, as Max Hall threw four touchdown passes 
against UNLV, including a 6-yard strike to Dennis Pitta for the 
winning score with 1:46 remaining.

Austin Collie had seven receptions for 113 yards, setting a 
Mountain West record with his sixth straight game with at least 
100 receiving yards.

The victory kept BYU, which is fourth in the conference 
standings, 1 1/2 games behind TCU.

Colorado State (4-4, 2-2) snapped a two-game losing streak with 
a 38-34 victory over San Diego State last week as Billy Farris 
passed for three touchdowns.

However, the Rams allowed the Aztecs, one of the worst offensive
teams in the FBS, to gain nearly 400 yards.  The game was tied, 
31-31, until Farris threw a 9-yard TD pass to Kory Sperry on the
first play of the fourth quarter.

Colorado State has dropped four straight to BYU, including a 
35-16 loss in Provo last season.]]></description>
