In order to have success against UCLA, BYU will need to step up in the secondary and take away the big play. Cornerback Micah Hannemann should recover from a lackluster effort against Boise State on the big stage to help the Cougars chances in the Rose Bowl.
After the BYU Cougars amazing showing against the Boise State Broncos last week, in which Tanner Mangum reached into his bag of magic tricks and was able to pull together another late game come from behind victory against a quality opponent, I was sorely tempted to pick an offensive player for the breakout player this upcoming week (for those keeping track, Mangum has two game winning drives in two games played).
