Holgorsen admitted the extra week will give his staff some additional time to get a handle on what BYU does. The Cougars defeated Arizona, 18-16, the opening week of the season and lost a heartbreaker to in-state rival Utah, 20-19, last Saturday.
“BYU is a quality opponent who does a lot of challenging things that will need a little extra work to prepare for, which will work out good for us,” Holgorsen said. “Then we’ll give the kids a little time off. They don’t get many of them so we’ll give them some time off and then get ready for the next one.
