BYU enjoys its big win over Arizona for 24 hours, quickly turns its attention to another Pac-12 foe, California

Provo • Having had a day to celebrate their unexpected 28-23 victory over Arizona, the BYU Cougars returned to work on Labor Day by putting the big win behind them.

“We just pat ourselves on the back,” coach Kalani Sitake said at his Monday news conference. “We’re done. Now let’s get going on to the next week.”

Now the Cougars face another Pac-12 foe, this time at home. They will host the Cal Bears, who downed North Carolina 24-17 at home last Saturday. Both teams are looking to go 2-0.

“All the hard work paid off, but that means we are just barely getting started with the work, too,” Sitake said.
