Here is the first half of BYU football coach Bronco Mendenhall's Monday morning press briefing as the Cougars turned their attention to Thursday's game at Central Florida and recapped last Friday's 35-20 loss to Utah State.

BYU quarterback Taysom Hill suffered a fractured left leg in that loss, and on Monday Mendenhall said the injury was "worse" than expected when doctors performed surgery on Saturday morning.

Toward the end of this video, Mendenhall describes the extent of the injury. He said a plate and eight screws were inserted into Hill's leg, and that major ligaments were shredded.
