The Cougars will kick off their season tomorrow (Saturday, Feb. 6) taking on in-state foe Utah State at 1 pm at the North University Fields (intramural fields on the north side of campus). I'll likely be there covering the game if anyone is interested in joining me.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr.

“We have not been outside since October,” reflected BYU head coach Matt Schneck, “I think it had a little bit of an impact on the guys. I think they just had to get their jitters out a little bit, and we’re definitely going to be spending more time outside next week as we go prepare to play Boise State and Simon Fraser.”

"The Cougars started the game with a couple of quick goals, but Boise State matched with two goals of their own. BYU, undaunted, came back with two more. The Cougs dominated in the faceoffs, winning the lion’s share, but the Bronco defense was ruthless and relentless. BYU had a slim lead 4-3 at the end of one."

"Defense was the name of the game in BYU’s early-season win against Simon Fraser. The Clan had its moments, even leading the contest early in the second quarter, but the Coug’s defense took over and shut The Clan down, giving BYU the 12-8 victory."
