BYU QB Zach Wilson Executes Two-Minute Drill With Dart To Gunner Romney

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – BYU quarterback Zach Wilson executed a flawless two-minute drill and marched the Cougars down the field on a drive that resulted in a touchdown pass to Gunner Romney.

BYU’s defense forced Louisiana Tech to punt the ball with less than two minutes to go until halftime. Wilson and the Cougars took the field at their own 20-yard line with 1:29 remaining in the second quarter.

The junior quarterback worked the sidelines and marched BYU down the field in five plays that took only 37 seconds off the clock.
