PROVO, Utah – BYU wide receiver Puka Nacua made a tremendous catch before making another great play for a touchdown against Idaho State.
Midway through the second quarter, Jaren Hall threw a deep ball to Puka Nacua for a 42-yard gain that brought BYU to the ISU 23-yard line. On the very next play, Hall hit Nacua on a back shoulder throw in the end zone with a defender draped on him.
That gave BYU a 35-0 lead with 7:33 to play in the first half.
PUKA!
