EAST LANSING, Mich. -- Taysom Hill guided Brigham Young through the third quarter, and Jamaal Williams took over in the fourth.Williams ran for 163 yards and two touchdowns, and BYU beat Michigan State 31-14 on Saturday, sending the Spartans to their third straight loss. Hill ran for a touchdown and threw for another in the second half.Im definitely not surprised and I dont think anybody on our team is surprised, Hill said. We knew we were very capable of playing the way that we did and being a good football team. But now that we did that, we knew that we were capable of it and its given us a lot of confidence moving forward and well continue to build off of it.The Cougars (3-3) largely shut down the Spartans (2-3) after Michigan State scored a touchdown on its first drive. BYU trailed 7-3 at halftime but scored touchdowns on all four of its second-half possessions -- not including its final drive, which consisted only of kneel-downs.Hills 4-yard touchdown pass to Colby Pearson put the Cougars ahead, and he then added a 12-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter.Michigan State has lost three in a row for the first time since early in the 2009 season. The Spartans pulled starting quarterback Tyler OConnor in the fourth quarter and replaced him with Damion Terry. Michigan State began to move the ball on Terrys first drive, but an interception by Michael Davis ended that possession.Spartans coach Mark Dantonio said he didnt blame OConnor for the loss, but he did not commit to any quarterback as the starter going forward.If youre not productive and youve got seven points on the board, then youve got to make a change for the sake of change, Dantonio said. I dont think he was playing that badly.Williams, who rushed for 286 yards in a win over Toledo the previous week, added an 8-yard touchdown run to make it 24-7. After Terry scored on a 1-yard sneak, Williams broke free for a 62-yard run on BYUs ensuing drive. His 1-yard TD run made it 31-14.BYU had 78 offensive plays to Michigan States 53.TAKEAWAYSBYU: For the first time all season, the Cougars played in a blowout -- and they were on the right side of it. They also have two-point wins over Arizona and Toledo, as well as three-point losses to UCLA and West Virginia and a one-point loss to Utah.Having all those close games earlier paid off this week, coach Kalani Sitake said. Having our guys keep fighting and keep believing in what we are doingMICHIGAN STATE: Things have gone from bad to worse for the Spartans, who were already in trouble after losing to Wisconsin and Indiana. With games against Michigan and Ohio State still to come, Michigan State needs to snap out of this slump or it cant even be assured of going to a bowl.As I told our football team after the game, I believe this program has been built on a good, solid foundation. Its taken nine years to do that, Dantonio said. The ride up the mountains very difficult at times, and that ride down sometimes is very quick.BOGGED DOWNMichigan State drove 72 yards in 15 plays on its first possession, taking a 7-0 lead on an 8-yard touchdown run by Gerald Holmes. The Spartans managed only 31 yards total on their next five drives before OConnor was pulled.Its 10 guys doing things right, not 11, OConnor said. And its someone different every time, I think, and its just overall chemistry.KEEPING IT GOINGPart of the reason BYU had such a big advantage in total plays was because the Cougars went 10 of 16 on third down. BYU was 6 of 7 in the second half.UP NEXTBYU: The Cougars return home to face Mississippi State on Friday night.MICHIGAN STATE: The reeling Spartans resume Big Ten play with their Homecoming game against Northwestern on Saturday.---Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister Jim Brown Youth Jersey .

The Brewers needed at least a point to seal an instant jump into Englands second tier, and managed to see out the game despite their rivals Walsall thrashing Port Vale 5-0. Clough originally joined the club when they were playing non-league football during the 1998/99 season as a player-manager and returned earlier this year after the departure of Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink to QPR. The former striker has now lead the club he made over 200 appearances for over ten years into the Championship for the first time in their history.When I was here before, we were in the Southern League Premier Division, going to Weymouth and Dorchester and having a bacon sandwich at 8am on a Saturday morning and all of a sudden, were in the Championship. It is truly, truly remarkable, Clough told Sky Sports. Burton players celebrate promotion to the Sky Bet Championship We saw the other result coming through and we thought that we could afford to concede and its fitting with all the clean sheets weve had that we secure it with a 0-0.We knew we could get a clean sheet today and it would be enough. The lads have got belief and thats what they can do. The previous two managers Gary Rowett and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink have instilled that into them and thats what you saw today.We were concerned about the winless run earlier in the season in some ways but we kept grinding it out and those points are very important. I just said to Tyler Walker, he got us a 93rd minute equaliser against Bury and that could have beenn the goal that got us up.dddddddddddd Highlights from Doncasters 0-0 draw with Burton from Sky Bet League One which was enough to guarantee the Brewers promotion. Burton go up to the Sky Bet Championship with a final tally of 85 points - two behind eventual champions Wigan - and will be playing the likes of Aston Villa, Leeds and Cloughs former side Nottingham Forest. But he isnt quite looking forward to life in a new division just yet, with the staff and players set for a celebration on Sunday evening.I havent even thought about next season, Clough added. Were going to have one of the biggest parties in Burton tonight I think its ever seen and were not even thinking about the Championship yet. Also See: Burton video Burton fixtures Burton stats ' ' '
