"They're big, they're mean and they get after people," he said. "I hardly got touched. Those guys are the reason we won the game and the reason we methodically drove the ball down the field those last two drives."

Hall nothing but praise for Unga.

"Harvey is our guy," he said. "I wouldn't want to have any other guy carrying the ball. To come back and drive it down the field again like we did says a lot about our guys and our offensive line.

"Our coaches, Robert Anae and Brandon Doman, had the right plays called and knew what we needed to do to drive it back down the field and we did."

For the second week in a row, Pitta turned in big plays, including a 29-yard catch on a third-down at BYU's 5-yard line.

"Dennis is just a good football player," said Hall. "He's fast, strong and can get open, especially when we were backed up at our goal line and he was covered man-on-man. He is a big play guy and I'm glad we have him."
