Stephenson is No. 2 in the nation in punting, averaging 47.31 yards per attempt. He has 26 punts that traveled at least 50 yards and 24 that landed inside the 20-yard line.
Van Noy finished behind first-team All-America linebackers Manti Te'o of Notre Dame, C.J. Mosely of Alabama and Jarvis Jones of Georgia.

BYU vs Utah
51st vs 100th passing
63rd vs 94th rushing
66th vs 78th points

Enjoy the coach potato bowl!
