PROVO — BYU’s defense was without a few starters Saturday against McNeese State.
But that didn’t stop the Cougars from keeping the Cowboys out of the end zone and limiting them to 207 yards of total offense in a 30-3 win at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Linebacker Zayne Anderson and safety Dayan Ghanwoloku were sidelined due to injuries. Linebacker Butch Pau’u saw limited action as he is also dealing with an injury.
Coach Kalani Sitake was pleased with the way their replacements performed, including linebackers Riggs Powell and Adam Pulsipher.
“Not having Dayan was rough. Every week, guys are going to compete.
