PROVO, Utah – BYU wide receiver Talon Shumway caught a pass from Zach Wilson from his knees and bending over backward during the first half of Saturday’s game.

Shumway made the grab with USC’s Olaijah Griffin all over him. Griffin was called for pass interference on the play.

Wilson’s throw to Shumway gave the Cougars a first down with 2:36 left in the 2nd quarter.

The pass to Shumway went for 25 yds to the USC 27-yard line. The Cougars and Trojans were tied at halftime 17-17.
