Speaking of time, Mahe said head coach Kalani Sitake and BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe told him to take as much time away as he needed, for which he is grateful. He has been at all the team's practices since it began preparing for the game against Wyoming last week, and definitely plans on coaching in the game on Dec. 21.
