After a terrible 5-7 season, BYU is eager to rebound.
Cougar Head Coach Kalani Sitake said the team is motivated by last year’s losing season, the coaching staff benefits from a year of Big12 experience, and defensive coordinator Jay Hill will improve in his second year with the program. Sitake told Adam Mikulich at the Big12 Media Days in Las Vegas that position fights will strengthen the team’s defensive line, wide receiver, and quarterback positions.
Kalani also believes that adding a western wing to the conference will help BYU develop rivalries and minimize travel time. Watch Kalani Sitake’s chat with Adam Mikulich here.
