On Monday, BYU head coach Kalani Sitake met with the media to preview the upcoming game against SMU. In his opening statement, Sitake highlighted three areas of
improvement after week one.
The Cougars gave up 123 rushing yards against the Salukis. 121 of the 123 rushing yards came from quarterback DJ Williams. Williams averaged 8.1 yards per carry against BYU. All other rushers averaged 0.2 yards per carry on 10 attempts against BYU. "On offense, finish drives and find ways to capitalize on opportunities," Sitake said. The BYU offense moved the ball well throughout the night against the Salukis. A few drives, however, stalled inside the 30 yard-line. BYU was a few finished drives away from scoring 50+ points. Capitalizing in the redzone will be critical not only against SMU, but throughout the entire season.
