I might have enjoyed that more than the game, just seeing them being able to come home. I hope Hawaii feels the same way about the game so we can keep it going."
BYU and Hawaii are scheduled to play again on Sept. 29, 2012, in Provo, and the two teams are set to play for the next several seasons.
The players will reconvene in Provo on Monday for conditioning drills while the assistant coaches will go out recruiting. Then the Cougars will prepare for their upcoming bowl game.

Classy Bronco, calling for a knee on the 5 yard line, in a heated rivalry game. Classic. Nice job coach. Great season.
No sunburns, turf burns, or ego burns. Nice!

I wonder what the one-onone conversations were like on the plane trip back. Bronco to Heaps; Doman to Heaps; Holmoe to Heaps. I hope Jake decides to stay at the Y and redshirts next year. He is a great talent who needs to develop some leadership to More..
