PROVO — BYU's 20-6 win over Portland State wasn’t as easy as originally expected because the Vikings actually gave BYU a run for its money or maybe because of the 95-degree heat.
Special guests during opening day
BYU greats showed their faces during opening day. Former BYU and NFL players included Dennis Pitta, David Nixon, Austin Collie, Aaron Gordon and Benjamin Criddle all were in attendance.
Pitta played four years for BYU before playing six years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens. Collie played three years for the Cougars before going on to play five years in the NFL and one year in the CFL.
