Fresh off debut, BYU freshman Bernard ready for increased workload at running back

As of Tuesday, injured running backs Adam Hine (ankle) and Algernon Brown (knee) hadn’t practiced. That means BYU's ground game could rely heavily on Bernard when the Cougars host Connecticut. If that’s the case, he welcomes the challenge.
