HONOLULU, Hawaii – Matt Bushman has a tough decision to make after Tuesday night’s Hawaii Bowl. Will he go to the NFL or come back to BYU for his senior season? Great catches like the one Bushman had in the Hawaii Bowl will lead to NFL scouts and executives hoping he goes pro.
During the second quarter of the Hawaii Bowl, Zach Wilson threw a pass to Bushman that went for 22 yards and put BYU in Hawaii territory. What made the catch impressive was Bushman needing only one hand.

That catch gave BYU momentum on the drive and plays later, the Cougars scored on a Zach Wilson one-yard touchdown run to cut the deficit against Hawaii down to 21-14.
Both BYU and Hawaii have been on fire on offense. The two teams have combined for nearly 500 yards at the midway point of the second quarter.
