Danny Berger almost dies, BYU game postponed Next List » 7 of 7 « Prev
The 2012-13 edition of this series was scheduled for Dec. 5, 2012. On Dec. 4, USU starting forward Danny Berger suddenly collapsed in practice and went into cardiac arrest. In a magnanimous gesture, BYU head coach Dave Rose agreed to postpone the game to a later date.

"When Stew and I first spoke," Rose said, "it was pretty much agreed upon that we would play the game. We put that second. What we put first was to see how the situation with Danny was going to turn out. I think all along, we both felt we had to play the game."

Berger's life was saved largely due to the actions of USU trainer Mike Williams who administered CPR and used an emergency defibriliator without delay.

The game was later rescheduled for Feb. 19, 2013 and will tip off at 7 p.m.
