This week four matchup against East Carolina presents plenty of cause for concern for BYU football. Truthfully, as the season began, this week's meeting with the Pirates felt like a comfortable introduction to non-LaVell Edwards Stadium backdropped football games for this year's Cougs. A non-power conference foe right before the conference slate opens? Fresh off a bye week at that? Chalk that up to a W, right?
Well, maybe we should pump the brakes a touch. BYU will need to give this battle its full attention before diving headfirst into Big 12 competition.
