SALT LAKE CITY — It was just a friendly golf wager — with a rivalry element, of course.
That was how former Utah punter Tom Hackett billed it when he and close friend Andy Phillips — the kicker himself — challenged ex-BYU quarterback Riley Nelson and former Cougar offensive lineman Braden Hansen to a friendly round of golf.
Hackett isn’t afraid to let his feelings about the BYU-Utah rivalry known — he’s the one who famously declared himself loss-free against the Cougars prior to the Utes’ kickoff in Las Vegas a few years ago — and he and Phillips talk Utah football on their podcast on KSL Newsradio.
