Provo • BYU’s defenders know they must stop USC quarterback Kedon Slovis for the Cougars to have a shot at upsetting the Trojans on Saturday when the teams meet at 1:30 p.m. in Provo, but what if Slovis doesn’t even have to bother attacking the Cougars with his passing talent? What if the Trojans just elect to take the ball and run it through the heart of the BYU defense?
“If you watched film on us they would say ‘Hey let’s come in and run the ball on them,’” BYU defensive coordinator Ilaisa Tuiaki said.
