PROVO — When we last saw BYU football, it was rolling up big yardage and piling up a lot of points in a 49-23 trouncing of Hawaii.
But the new-look offense, quarterbacked by true freshman starter Zach Wilson, is expected to get a much stiffer test this week when the Cougars host Northern Illinois Saturday (1:30 p.m. MDT, ESPNU).
Both BYU and NIU, sporting identical 4-3 records, are coming off bye weeks.
