Provo • Whether this means a darn thing, or not, you should be fully aware that the BYU Cougars are putting the “Oh” in optimism for the coming football season. They’ve done it before and they’re doing it now.
Kalani Sitake has been the football coach at BYU long enough to know what to think and what not to think, what to say and what not to say. He knows his record (20-19) leading the program and he knows the score.
Sitake is charged with winning more games than he loses, against an independent schedule this next season that is more difficult, even with a few gimmes mixed in, than the ones the Cougars faced back when LaVell Edwards was winning league championships, lifting the program’s profile, building the high expectations of its fan base.
