What do BYU football and Houston coach Dana Holgorsen have in common?
Well, right up at the top it is the love of the pass, traditional roots that cross back to LaVell Edwards, and involvement in rewriting NCAA records.
On Friday, Holgorsen will coach against Kalani Sitake. Both men should be able to relate to the legendary Edwards, who would have turned 90 this past week.
Holgorsen, a former athlete at Iowa Wesleyan, got involved with then-coach Hal Mumme, who then went on to coach at Valdosta State, where all three tapped into an offensive philosophy with a guy named Mike Leach.
