Provo • BYU locked in its postseason destination in mid-November — a berth in the Hawaii Bowl — then found out its opponent would be the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors a couple weeks ago.
It’s not a College Football Playoff berth. It’s not a New Year’s Six game. BYU is once again playing in a lower-tier bowl. But those caveats aside, it might just be the perfect postseason landing spot for the Cougars.
After all, BYU and Hawaii have a long, storied history. And it’s one Hawaii coach Nick Rolovich learned about when he was quarterback for the Warriors nearly two decades ago.
