A landmark victory for BYU quarterback Max Hall was important to his coach for another reason -- it was another hard-fought win for the Cougars.

Hall passed for two touchdowns and got his 29th victory at BYU to match Heisman Trophy-winner Ty Detmer's school record, and the No. 22 Cougars survived a sloppy fourth quarter to beat winless New Mexico, 24-19, on Saturday.
