PROVO — It’s widely known BYU football has a roster that is significantly older than others, with some opposing coaches stating it gives the program an advantage.
Well, those same coaches may have a point, at least for this extraordinary season.
Given the circumstances dealt by the COVID-19 pandemic, it hasn’t been business as usual for any football program throughout most of the offseason. Teams have had to deal with subsequent restrictions, placing much more personal responsibilities in conditioning and other factors involved in getting ready for the season.
According to BYU coaches and players, the program has not only survived under the increased restrictions, but has thrived.
