PROVO — BYU's offense has had a lot of varying struggles throughout the season, with the most recent one of note being that of starting slow. Ultimately, the Cougars rebounded to put up relatively high scores in wins over Massachusetts and New Mexico State after incurring slow starts, but should the offense start slow against the likes of Utah, the ability to rebound may prove much tougher.
Starting faster is very much in the mind of BYU offensive coordinator Jeff Grimes as he prepares his offense to take on a typically stingy Utah defense.
“It’s extremely important, and the way to approach it is that we really have to look at the plays that we call early in the game and find the things that we think we can execute best regardless of what defense they call,” Grimes said.
