Two years ago, two LDS head coaches faced off in a bowl matchup.
It’s happening again in 2017. While 2015 featured Utah’s Kyle Whittingham going up against BYU’s Bronco Mendenhall in the then-Cougar coach’s final game at the school, this year’s Mormon matchup involves two teams from the East coast.
One is Mendenhall’s Virginia Cavaliers squad, the other is Ken Niumatalolo's Navy Midshipmen program.
