Utah State running back Darwin Thompson sweeps around the end during the Aggies' victory over the Cougars at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Friday, Oct. 5, 2018. Shoring up their tackling fundamentals has been a point of emphasis for the Cougars this week.
PROVO — In last Friday’s lopsided 45-20 loss to Utah State, BYU’s defense allowed the Aggies to run for 223 yards.
Along the way, the Cougars had plenty of missed tackles. That’s something they’re working on this week as they prepare to face Hawaii on Saturday.
“There were some third downs where it was one-on-one,” said linebacker Sione Takitaki.
