If you don't stop the Falcons a lot behind the line, it'll be a long day.
BYU, strangely enough, hasn't employed the proper defense against the Falcons very many times. It's weird that the same coaching staffs will do it correctly one year, then not the next. Very strange.
We'll see which coaching mindset shows up today.
PENETRATE, guys!
Nevertheless, I will be rooting them on to possible victories. In the history of the Cougar-Falcons games, the Cougars have only rarely dominated these games, when they clearly have the superior weight advantage in the trenches. It only proves that overwhelming size comparison does not prevail with the apparent lack of focus and fitness level, which the Falcons have shown to be the better prepared. I don't understand this. Pigging out at the training table, gaining weight does not stack up with fitness, quickness and football savvy, and between the ears play on the field. The Cougars need to play smart football, play as a team, and forget about their personal goals.
The Dnews must pay by Harmon in farm animals.
