Dick Harmon: BYU should throw caution to the wind and start swinging, if not to win, to mine emotion

PROVO — BYU’s defensive and offensive coordinators have some decisions to make.

They aren’t using injuries, a tough schedule, short week, three road games (Madison, Seattle, and Tucson) nor the fact half the players on offense are freshmen as a whiny excuse. Although they could.

No, they must reinvent their identity for the second half of the season. During the first half, that identity was tough, physical, confident play and execution. But after the first three of six games, that identity morphed into hesitation, less than physical play and poor execution.
