PROVO — BYU’s defense has been down a pair of key starters the past few games — linebacker Zayne Anderson and safety Dayan Ghanwoloku.
While coach Kalani Sitake is hopeful that they’ll both be back Friday when the Cougars host Utah State — the Aggies are averaging more than 50 points a game — they have left a big void for the defense.
Ghanwoloku hasn’t played since a 21-18 loss at home to California on Sept. 8, when he scored on a 36-yard fumble recovery.
“He’s really good. You’ve seen that the last few years. He can make plays happen,” safety Austin Lee said of Ghanwoloku.
