Provo • Eight different receivers started in games for the BYU Cougars last season, partly due to injuries, but mostly because the coaching staff’s strategy was to shuttle guys in and out so they could be fresh to run their routes and block on running plays.
BYU didn’t have anything close to a go-to receiver; The leading pass-catcher was actually a tight end, Matt Bushman, who caught 29 passes for 511 yards and two touchdowns. The receiver with the most catches and yards was Aleva Hifo, who caught 28 passes for 358 yards and two touchdowns.
