SALT LAKE CITY — Tim Patrick has had no problem embracing the hatred for BYU.
“I just want to shut them up,” said the senior wide receiver from San Diego. “I’ve heard about it (the rivalry), 24-7 since I’ve been here. I want to be on the winning side and shut them up.”
Patrick said he wants to beat the Cougars down in his one and only time against the rivals from the south. But he does have a soft spot for one of the boys in royal blue: Cougar wide receiver Nick Kurtz happens to be his former teammate from Grossmont College.
