MADISON, Wis. — Catch the dang ball.
That’s the message this week for Utah and BYU receivers who are not named Britain Covey or Moroni Laulu-Pututau.
If there was ever a time BYU and Utah needed pass catchers to bring their artistry to the big stage, it is this weekend in Madison and Salt Lake City.
The Utes and Cougars are facing defensive maulers in Washington and Wisconsin this Saturday. These are defenders who can cover, run with the best, apply pressure, tackle like four-legged creatures of the Serengeti. These defenses are formidable, just waiting for something that can give them pause to sigh a little or even laugh.
