Provo • Come Christmas Eve, BYU may get a more dangerous present than it can handle. After the Cougars remove the big red bow from the 6-foot-4 box, they’ll come to find one of the nation’s best passing quarterbacks in Hawaii’s Cole McDonald.
BYU will have to find a way to stop the redshirt junior in order to not let the Rainbow Warriors pile on the points and run away with the Hawaii Bowl.
McDonald has thrown for 3,642 yards — fifth-most in the country — and 29 touchdowns on 64% passing. The redshirt junior also has four receivers he can throw to at any time.
