BYU uses second half surge to pull away from Georgia Southern, 34-17

The first two quarters between Georgia Southern and #14 BYU were a interesting ones, as the Cougars clung to a three point lead heading into half, 20-17.

The second half was far less interesting. BYU outscored the Eagles 14-0 in the third and fourth quarters to pull away and seal the 34-17 win in Saturday’s contest. Brigham Young’s Jaren Hall predictably sliced up Southern’s porous secondary to the tune of 312 yards and a pair of scores in the win.
