BYU football: Warner brothers return home leading a strong Cougar defense

The brothers, both highly recruited prospects out of Mission Hills High in San Marcos, Calif., have returned to the area where they first caught the eye of former BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall's staff. They will lead the BYU defense at nearby Qualcomm Stadium when the 8-4 Cougars take on 8-5 Wyoming in the Poinsettia Bowl on Wednesday.

"Having Troy play with me this season has been fun," said Fred Warner. "Troy has been huge for us on defense, made a lot of plays this season. … He's been playing with a lot of maturity as a freshman, so that is good to see.
