BYU offensive line coach Ryan Pugh, left, and QB coach Aaron Roderick laugh with another coach before the BYU Blue-White Game at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Saturday, April 7, 2018.

PROVO — Ryan Pugh comes from the Deep South where college football is a religion. Now he’s in Utah County, a place where settling down and having babies is a cottage industry — if not a religion — of its own.

Ryan’s wife Cathey Lee delivered their first child, Etta Grayson, during his first BYU spring football session a few months ago in Provo.
