Provo • Shortly after his football team seemingly hit rock bottom — again — with a humiliating 16-10 loss to lowly UMass at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday, coach Kalani Sitake said the upcoming week will be one of the most important weeks of the season.
That sounded strange, because neither BYU (3-9) nor former conference rival Hawaii (3-8) has anything left to play for in their 7 p.m. MST matchup in Honolulu on Saturday. It will be Senior Day for the Warriors, but Senior Day didn’t go well for BYU against UMass or for UNLV against BYU the previous week.
