The Holy War is headed to Sin City this week. Utah and BYU will meet on Saturday, December 19th in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl. Both schools are familiar with the destination. Utah is returning for a second consecutive year after beating Colorado State 45-10 in last year's game, and BYU will be making their fifth Las Vegas Bowl appearence in the last ten years. As we look ahead to Saturday's matchup, let's take a look at the Cougar defense and what Utah should expect.
The BYU defense is led by outgoing coach Bronco Mendenhall, who recently accepted the head coaching position at Virginia.
