MADISON, Wis. — Squally Canada and Aleva Hifo gashed No. 6 Wisconsin’s defense in a timely and effective manner in BYU’s remarkable 24-21 upset Saturday.
It was a case of BYU playing smash-mouth at a place that practically invented it.
Canada had two touchdowns, gained 118 yards and averaged almost 11 yards per carry. That is twice what Badger star running back Jonathan Taylor averaged in Camp Randall Stadium, his home turf.
Hifo, excelling with the jet sweep, gained 45 yards on 5 carries, his longest a 19 yarder, but he had runs of 12 and 5 and caught a short pass for a run of 18 which kept Wisconsin’s defense guessing.
