Mark Pope when speaking with the media referenced that
#BYU
was offering 2 for 1 and even 3 for 1’s to get teams to the Marriott Center.
“We won’t have to do that anymore.”

Ty’Son Williams said the fans on the field was something he’s never experienced before.
Zach Wilson joked he took harder hits from the fans then he did in the game.
WHAT. A. SEQUENCE!
Fouss with a massive block. Leads to a transition three from Richie Saunders.
Fans going wild in the Marriott. Elite crowd tonight.

Kalani Sitake conducted the Cougar marching band in the final playing of the

Can this become a new thing? At the end of every win a player or coach should lead the final fight song.
Could become a tradition.

A few notes from
#BYU
practice:
- Keanu Hill had a long TD reception
- Dallin Holker and Gunner Romney were the most targeted in team portion
- Malik Moore picked off Cade Fennegan
- Logan Fano had a whistle sack, Looked explosive off the edge

A brief pause in the
#NBA
madness for
#BYU
stadium renovations. It doesn’t look like much, but it’s something Lavell Edwards stadium needed. I really like it.
ESPN Sources with
@Draftexpress
: Real Madrid’s Egor Demin — a projected 2025 NBA Draft lottery pick — has committed to BYU and coach Kevin Young for the 2024-‘25 season. Demin’s a highly skilled 6-9 Russian guard who’ll arrive as one of most talented recruits in program history.
It’s ridiculous how accurate Jaren Hall was in the scrimmage.
Nearly perfect ball placement on all the throws I was able to see.
He’s due for a big year.

Aaron Roderick just mentioned that RB3 heading into the South Florida matchup is Jackson McChesney.
“He’s ready to go.”
Hinckley Ropati is right behind him.

A few observations from
#BYU
🏈 practice today:
- Dallin Holker was the most targeted pass catcher
- Holker had the catch of the day on a post route
- Jacob Robinson intercepted Jaren Hall in the redzone
- Gunner Romney and Chase Roberts made nice sideline grabs from Sol-Jay
It’s not affecting the game, but man this officiating is tough.
I have no clue why that catch from Neil Pau’u wasn’t reviewed.
Clearly a catch.

Kalani Sitake on the newly announced Built 4 Life program: “This flexibility it’s something that is needed by our program to help take care of our kids.”
Tom Holmoe: “There’s too many kids across the country that get used up in football, and that’s not going to happen at BYU.”
Aaron Roderick right now regarding his QB coach of the year award on Cougar Sports Saturday: “The key to being a great quarterback coach is recruit a great quarterback.”

This officiating is making WCC officials look like the gold standard.
Just absolutely inexcusable to T up Mark Pope after a blown jump ball call.
Disgusting by the
#Big12
officials.
#BYU
#BYUhoops
Nice to see BYU snatch someone from up north.
Seems like the past few years BYU football has been losing players to Utah.
Francis Bernard, Mika Tafua, and now Skyler Southam.
DHC has a real opportunity to be the number one RB for the Cougars come September 3rd.
#BYU
fans here at the Marriott Center are giving the refs an earful.
The lack of calls for one of the best players in the WCC is noticeable, to put it kindly.

One interesting note from talking with Kedon Slovis after practice today.
He plans on spending several weeks this summer working with John Beck.
Several WR’s will be joining him.

#BYUFootball
My goodness I’m going to miss Alex Barcello!
Soak up these final 11 minutes
#BYU
fans. This guy is special!
That step back three point shot was nasty.
@kslsports
Felt like this was likely after seeing him at the KY presser hanging out with Danny Ainge.
However, huge props are due to KY for securing Hall + Saunders. There’s a really great core coming back.
#BYU
The

Utah State is struggling to make a free throw here in the second half.
They are 0-5 when shooting into the madness that is the

Justin Ena, Kelly Poppinga, and Sione Po’uha are the new additions to the
#BYU
defensive staff under Jay Hill.
I love the experience this staff will bring as all of these coaches have spent time under different head coaches away from BYU.
Going through some old footage from last season and I found this shot of

I think it’s cool seeing him soak in the pre-game before a massive win vs USC.

My observations from day 1 of
#BYU
spring football 2023:
- Kedon Slovis threw the ball very well. Great accuracy and velocity on his passes.
- Kade Fennegan stood out for the same reasons. I came away impressed by his play.
- Miles Davis and Hinckley Ropati looked fast (cont)
Micah Simon said it’s his job to make plays when his number is called.
The growth he’s made during his time at BYU is incredible. After two weeks he’s been the most reliable WR on the team.
Leads all receivers with 10 receptions.
TJ Haws has been outstanding in the second half.
16 second half points and he’s scored or assisted on the last 15
#BYU
points.
This dude is special. Enjoy him while you can Cougar fans.
“If
#BYU
can get through today, if they end up in that Houston game, there’s no way I would pick against BYU.”
Former Indiana and Georgia coach Tom Crean on ESPN pre-game coverage.
#BYUhoops
My 5 areas where
#BYU
has an advantage over Utah:
1. Offensive coaching staff.
2. Kicking game (it’s not close).
3. Matt Bushman vs Cole Fotheringham.
4. BYU has better LB’s.
5. BYU has healthy RB’s.

Other notable plays from

practice:
- Anthony Olsen sighting on a short pass from Nick Billoups.
- Ryder Burton long TD pass JoJo Phillips
- LJ Martin decent run to the outside. He’s a physical runner.
- Martin had a great catch on a wheel route from Burton

Credit to the players and coaches for staying engaged after a tough loss last week to Saint Mary’s.
This was their best performance of the season by far.
Jake Toolson on
#BYU
: “It’s been an incredible year for this team. It’s gonna be special walking out one last time in the Marriott Center with this team.”
Wilson on the postseason: “That’s a huge goal for us. We aren’t complaining if we don’t get into the CFP, but we definitely feel like we are good enough.
The goal for us is to win out and see which team wants to play us. We are ready for the challenge.

Neil Pau’u just spoke to the media here at
#BYU
spring ball day 1.
Really impressive stuff. Great interview. The Cougars are lucky to have him back this season.
Leaving BYU “crossed his mind” but he chose to stay citing Kalani Sitake as a reason he stayed.
What makes Jaren Hall such an intriguing option at QB for
#BYU
?
I went back and watched the first halves of the USU and USF games from 2019 and it’s special what he did before his injuries.

Fouss with a clean block, gets called for a foul, rightfully disagrees with some disgust, and draws a technical foul.
That's
#Big12
officiating for you. Been bad all year.
The zip and accuracy on this pass from Jaren Hall to Brayden Cosper is impressive. He had a few throws like this from day five of
#BYU
spring football.

#BYUFootball
This is the finest moment in the career of Zach Wilson.
He had to shoulder the load with key players injured. Center change late in the first half.
Absolutely incredible performance when
#BYU
needed it most.
