BYU applies pressure without blitzing

Perhaps it’s telling that Brigham Young’s two biggest plays defensively Saturday occurred when it dropped into coverage rather than blitzed.

Obama in favor with politically minded Rebels

UNLV backup quarterback Mike Clausen carries a backpack with the popular and artsy red, white and blue sticker of Barack Obama, and sometimes wears a T-shirt showing his support for the Democratic presidential nominee.

UNLV’s upset bid fruitless

PROVO, Utah — Maybe UNLV should adopt an Arena Football League approach and just let the opposition score, giving the Rebels more time to answer with the game-winner.

Rebels’ fake punt doesn’t fool Cougars

PROVO, Utah — UNLV’s decision to fake a punt Saturday was so obvious that Brigham Young returner Spencer Hafoka was nearly 50 yards away and started sprinting toward the line of scrimmage.

Rebels’ resolve under review

PROVO, Utah — Call it revisionist history or simple semantics, but UNLV football coach Mike Sanford seems to have changed his mind about whether his team quit against Brigham Young here two years ago.

Massive mismatch? Only if Cougars’ mindset says it is

PROVO, Utah — On paper, it’s France against Russia. Or Britain. Or Italy (both times). It’s Bennett against John Matrix. It’s the Easy-Bake Oven against Wolfgang Puck.
