Tennessee Opponent Film Preview: BYU

Last week Thursday night the BYU Cougars helped to kick off the college football season. They opened — for the first time ever — by playing in ‘The Holy War’, a bitter, in-state rivalry game with the Utah Utes. From a Tennessee perspective this game went perfectly. A close score for much of three quarters led to an aggressive approach from BYU. This prevented the Cougars from being vanilla in their game plan, and may have given the Vols’ coaches valuable information on tendencies. The stout Utah defense provided a model for forcing critical errors from the Cougar offense.
