SEATTLE — BYU’s offensive coaching staff has emphasized ball security and through four games the Cougars have given up only three turnovers.

“For us, in these early games, our best way to win has been to be smart with the football, don’t take on unnecessary risks and keep ourselves in good field position and give our defense a chance to defend,” said BYU passing game coordinator Aaron Roderick.
