Provo • BYU football coach Kalani Sitake wants more big plays out of his receivers this season, and he’s turning to a famous Saturday Night Live skit to get his point across.
“It is like Will Farrell’s cowbell, only I don’t want more cowbell,” Sitake said. “I can never have enough explosiveness.”
Sitake won’t be able to ring up one of the most promising playmakers from last season, junior receiver Neil Pau’u, who is redshirting in 2019 after pleading guilty to an impaired driving charge last month. But the head coach’s cousin, receivers coach Fesi Sitake, says the receiving corps can “absorb” the loss of Pau’u adequately because he’s got six talented receivers waiting to either break out or continue their upward trajectories.
