BYU spring football: Williams, Brown making it easier for Mahe to break in as Cougar coach

While Kalani Sitake opens up his first spring practice at BYU, his running back coach Reno Mahe kicks off his first job as a major college football coach. He says experienced players, and Ty Detmer, will make his job easier.

“But they look good, I can tell you that much. He (Williams) just looks like a freak athlete. He looks like your prototypical tailback.”

He’s backing up the backs.

This week Reno Mahe gets his first up-close inspection of BYU senior Jamaal Williams, a candidate to become the school’s all-time leading rusher.

Williams has been out of action for more than a season and a half due to surgery.
