Utah player calls BYU 'dirty' during Las Vegas Bowl Welcome Reception

LAS VEGAS — Utah defensive tackle Seni Faounuku stirred up the Utes-Cougars rivalry during the Las Vegas Bowl Outback Steakhouse Welcome Reception Wednesday night by calling BYU “a dirty team.”

During a dance-off event between the two teams at the Fremont Street Experience, BYU punter Jonny Linehan performed a dance. Then Faounuku took the stage and instead of dancing, he picked up the microphone.

"BYU. Y'all a good team but you're a dirty team,” Faounuku said. “Don't start nothing. Won't be nothing."
