PROVO — Losing streaks are tough to fight through.

They’re like wrestling in a fishing net — kicking, poking, swinging for space, an opening.

BYU has had its share — but thankfully not too many — of these losing streaks during the past 50 years. The current one stands at five straight losses, after setbacks to LSU, Utah, Wisconsin, Utah State and Boise State.
