"I am sure there are [going to be] a lot of emotions," linebackers coach Paul Tidwell said after the Cougars practiced indoors Tuesday morning due to the snowstorm that hit Provo. "We do have to start strong and we do have to start fast. Hopefully, we can get the momentum on our side."
Since this is a "normal" week for the Cougars because the game is on Saturday, Tuesday was a hitting day. The team was in full pads and the physicality was pushed up a notch. BYU is expecting Michigan-type physicality from the SEC team, defensive lineman Bronson Kaufusi said.
