PROVO — If BYU's offensive coaching staff is wondering if the players are getting the message they're conveying, they should refer to senior Austin Hoyt's interview during Monday's weekly press conference.
Coming off a much-welcomed bye week, the Cougars are back at it, preparing to take on Northern Illinois. For the offensive players, that means working to continue the effective blocking that produced 280 yards rushing the last time out in a 49-23 win over Hawaii.
How was the offense led by the offensive line able to do it? It all had to do with pad level, a fact Hoyt mentioned over and over when asked of a variety of topics on Monday.
