Defense steers the ship as Cougars control the Pirates 34 to 13

It was the first road test for BYU and their true freshman quarterback, Bear Bachmeier, but the Cougars handled business at East Carolina to remain unbeaten.

If you were tuned into week two's battle with Stanford, you'd find much of the same to say about the Cougars during this battle with East Carolina. I, for one, drew the same conclusions about Sitake's squad during the Cougars' 34-13 road win in Greenville -- this team is led by its defense, and the offense just needs to fill in the gaps.

Sloppy would be a great word to describe the attack in this one.
