BYU-Wisconsin football: Cougars aren't completely unfamiliar with the Badgers

It’s nearly 1,200 miles from Provo to Madison, Wisconsin, so on the surface it wouldn’t be obvious that there would be many ties between BYU and Wisconsin.

But for freshman running back Ula Tolutau and sophomore athlete Austin Kafentzis, Saturday’s game in Provo against the No. 10-ranked Badgers means a little bit more.

“We treat it like any other team, but of course it is special because Kafentzis and I committed there,” Tolutau said earlier in the week. “But you have to be ready to go.”

Both Kafentzis and Tolutau originally signed to play for Wisconsin out of high school.
