AIR FORCE ACADEMY, Colo. — Max Hall threw for 354 yards and two touchdowns and No. 16 BYU evaded Air Force 38-24 today.

Harvey Unga added two touchdowns in a 74-second span in the third quarter, helping the Cougars set up a clash with No. 8 Utah next weekend for a share of the Mountain West Conference title.

Hall completed 28 of 37 passes, picking apart an Air Force defense that came in leading the league against the pass. He threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Austin Collie in the third quarter and a 45-yarder to Collie with 4:46 remaining, giving Hall at least one TD pass in 22 of 24 career games.

The Cougars (10-1, 6-1 MWC) have beaten the Falcons (8-3, 5-2) in five straight.
