BYU doesn't start its season until Saturday afternoon, but a few former Cougars got the football party started Thursday with some highlights of their own in NFL and CFL action.
Lasike finds the end zone
NFL rookie Paul Lasike scored his first pro touchdown, helping Arizona defeat Denver 22-20 at Sports Authority Field in Denver in the preseason finale for both teams. With the Cardinals trailing the Broncos 13-0 in the second quarter, Lasike ran a route to the right corner of the end zone and caught a four-yard pass from Arizona quarterback Phillip Sims in front of a pair of Denver defenders, as well as a teammate, for the score.
