Moving on up

BYU moved up in both polls from the preseason, despite a dull third quarter that saw multiple fumbles by the offense (attribute two to "new" players in the system and a third to a blind side QB sack in the end zone landed in part because a "new" left tackle didn't make a block. The Cougars moved up to 15 in both polls after starting the preseason in the AP at 16 and the USA Today/Coaches Poll at 17.

Some bright spots for the Cougars . . . .
Dennis Pitta 11 receptions for 213 yards
Max Hall 34 of 41 for 486 yards

Up next . . . Washington Huskies in Seattle Washington

VERSUS

The Huskies lost to Oregon on opening weekend 44-10, despite watching the Ducks play with their third sting QB. The Huskies start 10 freshmen and sophomores, including the speedy and athletic QB Jake Locker. BYU has been notorious the previous three seasons for starting slowly early in the season on the road and this game will be a test of the meddle that Coach Mendenhall has instilled in his team this season.
