PROVO — BYU’s defense surprised a lot of people last Saturday by the way it was able to contain Arizona quarterback Khalil Tate, a preseason Heisman Trophy candidate.
A big part of the Cougars’ defensive game plan was to use defensive lineman Corbin Kaufusi as a “spy,” assigned to focus on Tate and not allow him to get to the outside and use his speed to make big plays.
That plan worked like a charm in BYU's 28-23 victory.
Tate rushed for a total of 14 yards on eight carries.
