HOUSTON – In the Houston Texans’ preseason game against the Giants, former BYU Football linebacker Max Tooley stripped the New York ballcarrier with a punch from behind.

Tooley compared the play to a strip that Tyler Allgeier had with the Cougars back in 2021 on his Instagram story.

In a 2021 non-conference game against the Arizona State Sun Devils, Jaren Hall threw an interception and Allgeier got out to the races.

He tracked the ASU defensive back down and punched out the ball to prevent what would have surely been a pick-six.

Allgeier’s strip is commonly referred to as one of the best from BYU’s independence era.

Allgeier reposted Tooley’s story and highlighted the work that his former teammate has been putting in with the Texans.
