BYU’s all-time leading tackler Shad Hansen says facing Navy’s option is all about discipline, doing your job, and not doing somebody else’s assignment.
Hansen has held the BYU tackles record for 28 years.
Hansen knows the triple option. He attended the Air Force Academy Prep School before signing with BYU as a middle linebacker in the Ty Detmer era. At Air Force Prep, he faced the triple option every day and in every play in practice.
The Cougars open the 2020 season Sept. 7 at Navy in Annapolis, Maryland. The Midshipmen have been one of the nation’s most-potent rushing offenses the past few seasons.
