The Cougars have gone 3-7 in their last 10 outings against ranked teams. GAME TWO. Thanks to a week zero game, the saying "teams improve the most from game one to game two" will be put to the test this week. BYU is 5-5 in game two of the season over the past 10 seasons. The point differential in those 10 seasons went from +9.8 in BYU's favor in game one to +13.4 in game two. FACING COACH "O" BYU has never faced Ed Orgeron as a head coach. However, Orgeron has seen the Cougars a few times as an assistant coach over the years, most notably in 1990 as the defensive line coach for the No. 1 ranked Miami Hur- ricanes. Current BYU offensive coordinator Ty Detmer was under pressure all day and sacked twice by the Hurricane defensive front. Detmer ended up getting the best of them, however, throwing for 406 yards and three touchdowns to give the Cougars one of their most historic wins in program history with a 28-21 upset in Provo over the reigning national champs. HONORING LAVELL. Legendary hall of famer and beloved head coach at BYU for 29 seasons, LaVell Edwards, passed away on Dec. 29, 2016. The always steady and humble coach will be honored in several ways throughout the season, including the team wearing a uniform patch featuring his classic stoic profile he displayed for decades on the Cougar sidelines.

ETLING NAMED STARTER AS FOOTBALL PREPARES FOR BYU

BATON ROUGE – Senior Danny Etling was named LSU’s starting quarterback on Tuesday as the 13th-ranked Tigers begin their on-field preparation for next week’s season-opener against BYU.

LSU head coach Ed Orgeron told members of the media that Etling would be the starter when the Tigers take the field against the Cougars on Saturday, September 2 at NRG Stadium in Houston. Etling started the final 10 games of the season for the Tigers in 2016, leading LSU to a 7-3 mark over that span.

Another afternoon thunderstorm forced the Tigers indoors for Tuesday’s practice. On Monday, LSU held the final 30 minutes of its practice in the rain.

“We had our first ‘Competition Tuesday’ and I thought it was a very spirited practice,” Orgeron said of Tuesday’s practice. “Sunday, we watched all of the (scrimmage) tape, and we made the decision to announce Danny (Etling) as our starting quarterback.

“Danny did a very good job for us, was very competitive, and has handled the competition very well. Myles Brennan was a very close second and so was Lowell Narcisse. (Danny) has shown that he will be an excellent quarterback for us. We are looking forward to Danny being our starting quarterback.”

Orgeron said on Tuesday, the Tigers began working against the BYU scout squad and presented a scouting report on the Cougars to the team.

“Today we gave the scouting report on BYU and they are a very strong football team,” Orgeron said. “They have won eight of their last nine games and they lost only four games by a total of eight points. That has our teams’ attention. We looked at what they do on offense, defense, and special teams. It was an introduction today.”

Orgeron said the Tigers worked on first and second down against BYU scout team on Tuesday. They will followed with third down on Wednes-day, short-yardage, goal line, and redzone on Thursday.

The Tigers will have two full weeks of preparation for BYU, while the Cougars will get only one week to focus on LSU as they open their season on Saturday against Portland State.

“It can work both ways, obviously,” Orgeron said when asked if he thought it would be an advantage for BYU to have a game under its belt before facing the Tigers. “They can get the kinks out. That’s why we have had preseason games. We tried to match that, but I don’t know if you can match it. Obviously, it gives us an advantage because we get to see them play; they don’t get to see us play. They still don’t’ know what we are going to run on offense. They can guess, but they don’t know what we are going to run. I think it works both ways.”

MISSIONSBrigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The missionary emphasis of the Church is perhaps one of its most recognized characteristics.

Since the organization of the Church in 1830, over one million missionaries have served. The Church operates missions around the world in 150 nations speaking more than 160 languages. More than 70,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving prose-lytizing missions in 422 missions around the world. Most of the Church’s proselytizing missionaries are young men between the ages of 18 and 26. A substantial number of young women and older couples also serve proselytizing missions. Missionaries work long hours — seven days a week for two years (or 18 months for women and couples) — teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and participating in community service.

About 64 percent of the current team has served an LDS mission. Members of the team have served in 28 different countries and six of the seven continents around the globe. BYU currently has about 30 members of the team (previous signees or on roster) that are currently serving in the mission field.

HONOR CODEBYU’s Honor Code helps maintain this learning environment. Initiated by students in 1949, the Honor Code emphasizes being honest, living a chaste and virtuous life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, using clean language, and following other values in line with the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

INDEPENDENTS SNAPSHOTBYU is one of four FBS Independent teams. Here is a look at how the Cougars and the four other independents did last week.

POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Polynesian Islands have become a hotbed for recuiting in recent years, but BYU has been one of the pioneers in bringing these players from Tonga, Samoa, the Hawaiian Islands and all of Polynesia to the forefront of college football since the early 1950s. More than 40 members of the current roster are of Polynesian descent.

Some of BYU’s most celebrated and decorated players have come from the Pacific islands, including All-Americans, national record holders, players who have gone on to compete in the NFL and now, several members of BYU’s current coaching and support staff.

Kalani Sitake was named BYU’s 14th head coach on Dec. 19, 2015, becoming the first Tongan head football coach in the NCAA. His staff includes Polynesians Ilaisa Tuiaki, Steve Kaufusi, Reno Mahe, Nu’u Tafisi, Russell Tialavea, Tevita Ofahengaue, Jack Damuni, Jasen Ah You, Sione Kinikini, Vince Feula and Harvey Unga.

FORMER PLAYERS ON STAFFThere are 20 former BYU football players on the football and athletic admnistration staff.

2017 OPPONENTS WEEKLY

DEFENSE, RUNNING BACKS CHARGE 20-6 SEASON-OPENING WIN OVER VIKINGS

PROVO, Utah – Effective rushing from Squally Canada and Kavika Fonua, along with stingy defense, gave BYU a 20-6 over Portland State in the 2017 season opener Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Freshman tight end Matt Bushman led BYU receivers with 56 yards on three receptions. Canada had a career-best 98 rushing yards on 16 attempts with a touchdown, while Fonua had 59 yards on seven carries in his first game at running back. Junior quarterback Tanner Mangum completed 16 of 27 passes for 194 yards and a touchdown.

Fred Warner led the Cougars with 10 tackles. Sione Takitaki had seven tackles, including three for loss and two sacks. Zayne Anderson had a late interception — the first of his collegiate career in his first start.

The Cougars outgained the Vikings 367 yards to 220 yards. BYU had three sacks and eight tackles for loss.

The first points of the game came via a 28-yard touchdown pass from Mangum to wide receiver Neil Pau'u with 2:01 on the clock in the first quarter. A 36-yard connection from Mangum to Bushman keyed the four-play, 64-yard drive. Rhett Almond made good on the PAT for a 7-0 lead, which the Cougars held at the end of the period.

Canada punched in a one-yard touchdown run to cap an eight-play, 66-yard touchdown drive in the middle of the second quarter. A 33-yard pass from Mangum to Talon Shumway put BYU in striking range. BYU's lead extended to 14-0 with 7:57 left in the half.

The Vikings closed out a 17-play, 87-yard touchdown drive with 1:54 left until halftime. Jalani Eason completed a four-yard pass to Darnell Adams to get in the end zone. The PAT was missed to make the score 14-6 in favor of the Cougars, which stood as the teams headed into their locker rooms.

Both defenses pitched shutouts in the third quarter, as the gun sounded with BYU up 14-6. The Cougars were driving, with the ball on the Portland State 48 yardline.

The first play of the fourth quarter was a 34-yard run from Canada that put BYU on the Viking 14 yardline. Almond hit a 27-yard field goal to put the Cougars up 17-6 with 13:22 left in the game.

Anderson picked off a pass for BYU's first defensive takeaway late in the quarter and returned it 27 yards to the Portland State 23 yardline. Almond came on for a 35-yard attempt and kicked it down the middle for the 20-6 lead.

FATHERS AND SONSBYU has a family legacy unique to many other institutions. This year's squad features eight players with fathers who also played football at BYU.

THE BYU OFFENSE• YEAR TWO OF TY. Ty Detmer is into his second season directing BYU's offense. Year one relied heavily on a star

running back in Jamaal Williams and an experienced, dual-threat quarterback in Taysom Hill as players learned a new scheme. The offense now more comfortable looks to take another step forward in 2017.

• FINDING A BALANCE. BYU had 194 yards passing and 171 yards rushing in game one against Portland State. In 2016, BYU rushed for 2,615 yards and 2,573 passing yards.

• YOUNG GUNS. After graduating several playmakers in 2016, a new crop of youngsters will look to make an impact in 2017. As many as 17 underclassmen will see time as part of the two-deep on the offensive side of the ball. BYU's first touchdown of the year was scored by freshman Neil Pau'u while freshman tight end Matt Bushman led BYU in receiving yards with 56.

• REDSHIRTS COMING OFF. Several talented players redshirted the 2016 season, including some that saw time in 2015 as true freshmen. Receivers Akile Davis and Micah Simon return after seeing time in 2015, as do running backs Riley Burt and Trey Dye. A talented group of offensive linemen who spent the 2016 season returning to shape after LDS missions include Kieffer Longson, Austin Chambers and Chandon Herring. All of them are expected to contribute in 2017 and most of them saw their first game action against Portland State in game one.

Kalani Sitake (pronounced kah-lah-nee see-tah-kay) was named head coach overseeing the BYU football program on December 19, 2015, by director of athletics Tom Holmoe.

Sitake is the 14th head coach in BYU history. He comes to BYU from Oregon State, where he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.

A former Cougar running back (1994, 1997-2000), Sitake returns to his alma mater with 15 years of coaching experience, including seven years a defensive coordinator and four seasons as an assistant head coach.

Prior to serving as assistant head coach and defensive coordi-nator at Oregon State in 2015, Sitake spent 10 seasons at the University of Utah. He started at Utah in 2005 as the linebackers coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2009 before also being named assistant head coach in 2012.

Sitake has coached several Pac-12 and Mountain West Confer-ence honorees, including Morris Trophy winners Star Lotulelei (2011) and Nate Orchard (2014). He also helped mentor 14 NFL Draft picks during his time at Utah, including 12 all-league players and three freshmen All-Americans. He helped the Utes win seven of eight bowl games during his tenure.

Sitake began his coaching career in 2001 as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Eastern Arizona before becoming a defensive graduate assistant at BYU in 2002. Sitake then joined the staff at Southern Utah where he coached running backs, tight ends and offensive line during the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

Born in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, and raised in Laie, Hawai’i and Provo, Utah, Sitake becomes the first FBS head football coach of Tongan descent. He is the 14th head coach in BYU history, and just the fourth since 1972, when Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards took over the program.

Sitake began his BYU playing career in 1994 prior to serving a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Oakland, California. After returning and redshirting in 1997, Sitake was a three-year starter at fullback for the Cou-gars from 1998-2000 under Edwards.

He was named BYU’s Football Scholar Athlete of the Year in 1998, Impact Player of the Year in 1999, along with team captain and the most valuable running back in 2000. He signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001, but was forced to retire due to an injury.

Sitake graduated from BYU in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in English. He and his wife Timberly have three children, Skye, Sadie and Kelaokalani (KK).
