Saturday afternoon marks the first time the BYU Cougars and Southern Utah University Thunderbirds will meet on the football field. Although the teams haven’t played each other, there is history between the schools as some of the best Thunderbird quarterbacks started their careers at BYU. For McCoy Hill it will be a homecoming as just last year he was a backup quarterback at BYU. Much of the coaching staff also has ties to both schools in one form or another. Ed Lamb highlights this group as he was the head coach for the Thunderbirds for eight years before coming to BYU.
