Provo • Eric Mateos still hasn’t found or even unpacked everything he quickly threw together when he made the overnight drive from Texas to BYU after becoming the Cougars’ new offensive line coach a couple weeks ago.
But the affable, quick-witted and fun-loving assistant coach has already embarked on a more important search — at least to BYU fans — as spring practices got underway in Provo this week. Mateos inherited an experienced and talented offensive line from Ryan Pugh, but needs to find a replacement at right tackle for all-Independent performer Austin Hoyt.
