Brigham Young Cougars wide receiver Jonah Trinnaman (3) can't make the catch on coverage by Portland State Vikings cornerback Montre Brown (23) in Provo on Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017. BYU won 20-6.

PROVO — If BYU’s receivers don’t create more separation than shown against Portland State, it will be a very tough September.

Unfortunately, on Saturday against LSU, the Cougar pass catchers will face SEC corners who eat receivers for snacks.

On Monday, I asked Kalani Sitake about this challenge in light of last Saturday when plenty of armchair quarterbacks and former players, including alum and ESPN analyst Trevor Matich, expressed concern over the lack of space BYU receivers created on Saturday.
