PROVO — BYU entered its bye week on the heels of one of its best overall performances of the season when it hammered Hawaii 49-23.

Can the Cougars keep playing that way Saturday (1:30 p.m., MDT, ESPNU) when they entertain Northern Illinois?

“Things got clicking really well for us on all three phases,” coach Kalani Sitake said Monday of the win over the Rainbow Warriors. “We have to keep building on that. That’s what we tried to get done last week during the week off. We have to keep building on it now going into this game and the second part of the season.
