WHAT THEY ARE SAYING... “To focus too heavily on Texas’ defensive woes, though, is an injustice to what BYU accomplished Saturday. Taysom Hill was incredible, rushing for 259 yards and three touchdowns on only 17 carries. Most of those runs came on zone-read keepers, over and over.” - Max Olson, ESPN.com “If BYU keeps winning, they will be in some interesting conversations come November.” - Trevor Matich, ESPN analyst “I have no doubt that as long as Mendenhall remains with the program, we’ll see BYU competing for a spot at the national table.” - Paul Myerburg, USA Today

NOTES FROM BYU’S LAST GAME
PROVO, Utah – Taysom Hill and Michael Alisa ran for two touchdowns apiece to lead BYU football to a 37-10 win over Middle Tennessee Friday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
Hill went 50 yards on a keeper off the right tackle for his second touchdown of the game to give the Cougars a 16-10 lead with 7:30 left in the second quarter.
Following a Middle Tennessee field goal on the opening drive of the game, Adam Hine took the following kickoff 90 yards to the opposing 10-yard line. Three plays later, Hill ran it in from 12 yards out to put the Cougars up 7-3 with just under 11 minutes left in the first quarter.
A five-yard rush by Hill and a pass interference call on the defense put BYU on the 2-yard line. Alisa ran it in on the next play for his second touchdown of the season to give the Cougars a 23-10 lead with 15 seconds left in the half.
The BYU defense forced the Blue Raiders to punt, but a fumble on the return set the visitors up with the ball on the Cougars 24-yard line. Just before the end of the first quarter, Logan Kilgore hit Marcus Henry for a 16-yard touchdown pass to give Middle Tennessee a 10-7 lead.
The Cougars opened the second half receiving the kick and drove the ball 60 yards on 11 plays as Alisa punched it in from one yard out for his second touchdown of the game to put BYU up 30-10. Towards the end of the third quarter, senior JD Falslev returned a punt 71 yards for a touchdown to put BYU up 37-10. The last time BYU returned a punt for a touchdown was in 2011 by Falslev against TCU. On the return, Falslev fielded the punt on the right hash, crossed the field and ran up the left sideline untouched.
Paul Lasike returned the ensuing kickoff 33 yards to BYU’s 46-yard line. The Cougars drove down the field to the Blue Raider 5-yard line before a lost fumble gave the ball to Middle Tennessee on the 2-yard line. On the next play, Van Noy tackled Jordan Parker before he left the end zone to force a safety and cut the deficit

2013 BYU FOOTBALL
TEAM NOTES-4
INDEPENDENCE: YEAR THREE
BYU’s 2013 schedule may be the toughest in program history. The 12-game schedule with six road games and six home games includes fellow independent Notre Dame and teams from eight different conferences, including the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, American Athletic, Conference USA, Mountain West and Big Sky.
FLAG BEARERS
BYU has a tradition of selecting a player before each game to run the team flag and alumni flag. The team selects a former Cougar to carry out the alumni flag, along with the chosen current player who runs out with the current team flag. The team flag has been signed by each member of the team, while the alumni flag has been signed by former BYU payers. In 2011, the team added a special teams flag, donned by a vintage BYU logo adopted by the special teams, following the same protocol as the team flag with an exemplary special teams player being chosen to carry it each week. Game Team Flag Special Teams Flag Alumni Flag UVa Manaaki Vaitai Justin Sorensen Peter Tuipolutu Texas Craig Bills Jherremya Leuta-Douyere Danny Frazier Utah Paul Lasike Austen Jorgensen Waymon Hamilton MTSU Remington Peck JD Falslev Terrance Brown
TEAM CAPTAINS
Selected by their peers, wide receiver Skyler Ridley, slot receiver JD Falslev, linebacker Uani ‘Unga and safety Daniel Sorensen have been named team captains for the 2013 season. Three of the four captains started their BYU careers as walk-ons. In 2012, Ridley caught the first touchdown pass of the season and finished with 20 receptions for 206 yards and one touchdown. Falslev was second on the team with 37 receptions last season, while also returning punts and kickoffs. Sorensen is a three-year starter and led the team with three interceptions and was second on the team with 68 tackles. ‘Unga recorded 28 tackles, three tackles for loss, one interception and one fumble recovery in his first year at BYU after transferring from Oregon State.
LAVELL EDWARDS STADIUM
LaVell Edwards Stadium with its 63,470-seat capacity is home to BYU football. Originally Cougar Stadium, it was built in 1964 and seated 30,000. It was expanded in 1982 to seat 65,000 permanent seats before official capacity became 64,045 after refurbishing the middle of the east section. The capacity now sits at 63,470 due to accomodations for wheelchair access. For the 2012 season the stadium featured new video walls and LED ribbons on the north and south end zone stands. BYU’s 2012 average attendance of 61,161 ranked No. 3 in the West behind only USC (87,945) and UCLA (68,481).
Stadium record: 218-67 (.765) 2013 stadium record: 2-1 (.667) Under Mendenhall: 43-9 (.827)
MISSIONS
Brigham 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 405 missions around the world in 145 nations speaking 164 languages. More than 75,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving proselytizing missions in 330 missions around the world. Seventy-five percent 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. There are 73 returned missionaries on the 2013 team. There are 57 missionaries from the football team currently serving in 18 different countries. Members of the team cover five of the seven continents around the globe.

The BYU football team will participate in hour-long devotionals prior or team service activities the night before each game this season. The team will conduct devotionals before eight games. These devotionals are referred to as “firesides” and are intended to help players, coaches and those who attend strengthen or gain a knowledge of our purpose here on earth. Firesides typically include a musical number from members of the team and talks from selected players, along with Bronco Mendenhall.

OFFENSIVE NOTES-8
THE BYU OFFENSE • Quarterback
Taysom Hill ranks No. 6 in the country in rushing yards per game with 141.25 per contest. His six rushing touchdowns are tied for the most among quarterbacks this season. Hill is currently No. 4 alltime at BYU among quarterbacks with 901 career rushing yards. Steve Young is ranked No. 3 with 1,084. • Sophomore Jamaal Williams rushed for a career-high 182 rushing yards against Texas in Week 2. After a 52-yard output against Utah (the sophomore left the game after suffering a concussion), the sophomore ranks No. 26 at BYU for career rushing yards with 1,153 yards. He needs just eight yards to jump to the No. 24 ranking. A 114-yard effort will put him the in top-20 at BYU all-time. Williams ranks No. 13 nationally at 126 yards per game. • Keep an eye out for The Hoff Show. Wideout Cody Hoffman has an opportunity to end his Cougar career as possibly the best receiver in BYU history. He enters this week needing just nine receptions, 367 yards and three touchdowns to take the top spot among the all-time leaders. As of now, Hoffman has amassed 213 receptions, 2,889 yards and 28 receiving touchdowns in his career, good for third, fourth and third, respectively, at BYU. Hoffman holds the record for receiving touchdowns in a game (5) and needs three 100-yard receiving games to have the most in program history. • Offensive staff rehaul. BYU revamped the offensive coaching staff for the 2013 season. The new staff includes Robert Anae returning as the offensive coordinator for a second go-around with the Cougars after a two-year stint at Arizona. Joining Anae are offensive line coach Garett Tujague, running backs coach Mark Atuaia, receivers coach Guy Holliday and quarterbacks coach Jason Beck. The new staff brings a variety of backgrounds and experience. • Go fast, go hard has been the mantra of coach Anae. With coach Anae leading the offense again, he’s brought the credo of “Go fast, go hard” to the team. Players conditioning has been ramped up with the expectation of nothing less than 100 percent on every drill, every rep and every workout.` • BYU has not been shutout for 117 consecutive games. The last time the Cougars failed to score was in 2003 in a 3-0 loss to Utah. That loss was the only other time BYU has not produced points since 1975. BYU has scored in the last 479 of 480 games since 1975. OFFENSIVE PLAYERS SEASON/CAREER HIGHS IN A GAME

2013 BYU FOOTBALL
DEFENSIVE NOTES-9
THE BYU DEFENSE • BYU
finished the 2012 season ranked No. 3 in total defense. The unit returns five starters to a defense that arguably was the best in team history. BYU finished the season No. 3 in the nation in total defense, ranking behind only Alabama and Florida State. The Cougars held opponents to an average of 266.1 yards per game, the lowest since 1974 when the Cougars held offenses to an average of 261 yards. The powerhouse held seven top-10 defensive rankings, including six top-5 rankings highlighted by the No. 1-ranked 3rd down defense and the No. 2 red zone defense. • One of everything, again. After being the only Division I player to record a statistic in each of the major defensive categories in 2011, senior linebacker Kyle Van Noy repeated the same feat in 2012. The 6-foot-3, 245 pounder needed only a fumble recovery to duplicate his 2011 feat, which he did in the Poinsettia Bowl, stripping the San Diego State quarterback in the end zone and recovering that same fumble for a touchdown. The 2013 All-America candidate, who is also on the Bednarik Award, Nagurski Trophy, Butkus Award, Lombardi Award, Lott Impact Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award watch lists, was No. 3 in the nation in sacks (13) and No. 4 in tackles for loss (22). Van Noy led the No. 3 defensive unit in four categories, including tackles for loss (22), sacks (13), quarterback hurries (8) and forced fumbles (6) - a school record. • Making a name for themselves. A strong fall camp earned Alani Fua a starting role at outside linebacker and other circumstances have pushed senior Tyler Beck into the starting role at inside linebacker. Currently Fua is fifth on team in tackles with 19, tied for third on the with two tackles for loss and tied for first with two sacks. In his first career start, Beck recorded a career-high 10 tackles and a career-high two tackles for loss against Utah last week. • A large defensive line will help anchor the defense. Eathyn Manumaleuna returns to the field after suffering a season-ending knee injury last year and receiving a medical redshirt. The fifth-year senior and Outland Trophy candidate has started 38 games over his four-year career at both defensive end and defensive tackle. True sophomore and Ted Hendricks candidate Bronson Kaufusi and redshirt sophomore Remington Peck join Manumaleuna on the line, as defensive ends. In the mix for extensive playing time is junior Marques Johnson who redshirted last season. Combined, the four average a commanding 6-foot-4 and 283 pounds, and will look to wreck havoc in opposing backfield’s all year long. • Behind enemy lines. In four games this season, the defense has averaged 6.0 tackles for loss per game, ranked T-No. 58 nationally. Overall, the unit has recorded 24 TFL this season to rank T-74 nationally. Since last season, the defense has recorded 5.0 TFL in 15-17 games. Eathyn Manumaleuna, Uani ‘Unga, Alani Fua, Daniel Sorensen, Tyler Beck, Remington Peck and Kyle Van Noy each have recorded 2.0 TFL or more with Van Noy tallying 6.0 to rank T-No. 58 nationally. • Injuries are part of the game. The defensvie unit has been stung by the injury bug during the offseason and fall camp. JC transfer Trent Trammell, who was expected to fight for the starting job at boundary corner, tore his ACL during spring camp. Jordan Johnson, who started at all 13 games last season at field corner, tore his ACL during the first week of fall camp. Backup corner Adam Hogan tore three muscles in his quad during fall camp and will be out 3-4 weeks. The injuries have forced new players into the ever-important corner position, including true freshmen Michael Davis who began fall camp as a wideout and Dallin Leavitt.

COACH MENDENHALL/COACHES NOTES-12
BYU OFFENSIVE STAFF
HEAD COACH BRONCO MENDENHALL
Off. coord./Asst. HC
YEARS AT BYU Entering 9th year as head coach, 11th at BYU YEARS OVERALL Entering 25th year In his first eight seasons as head coach at Brigham Young University, Bronco Mendenhall has restored tradition to the Cougars as one of the nation’s top teams. Taking over a BYU program in 2005 that was coming off three losing seasons, Mendenhall has guided his teams to eight straight bowl invitations, two outright conference championships and regular national top-25 rankings. The Cougars finished the 2012 regular season 8-5, with a program-record fourth consecutive bowl victory, won four of their last five games and had the No. 3-ranked total defense in the nation. Under his leadership, BYU has earned a 76-31 (.710) record to date to rank No. 12 in total wins among all teams in the nation since 2005. The Cougars have received eight straight bowl invitations for the first time since a string of 17 consecutive bowls invitations from 1978 through 1994. Mendenhall is the only coach in BYU football history that took his first eight teams to a bowl game and has the highest winning percentage of any coach in school history. He also has more wins in his first 100 contests at BYU than Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards.

Another hallmark of Mendenhall’s program has been the emphasis on balance and priorities in the many other facets of life outside of football. Reflecting that emphasis, BYU consistently received the most academic all-conference honorees each season as a conference member, while six Cougar student-athletes have earned seven Academic All-America citations under Mendenhall. Only three teams have had more Academic All-America citations during Mendenhall’s tenure. BYU has led all FBS programs three of the last four years for the most selections to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society (3.2 GPA over college career.)

BYU’s success under Mendenhall is also evident in the national rankings and NCAA statistics. BYU has finished ranked in the top 25 in the various national statistical categories 127 times in his eight seasons (47 offense, 58 defense, 20 special teams, 2 misc.). The Cougars have achieved 78 top-15 statistical rankings, 58 top-10 rankings and 27 top-5 rankings in that span. The Cougars have also been ranked in the top-25 polls during seven of the past eight seasons and finished ranked in five seasons, including No. 12 following the 2009 season -- the program’s highest final ranking since finishing No. 5 in 1996.

Mendenhall has led BYU to bowl wins in six of the last seven seasons to become the first Cougar teams to ever win six bowls in a seven-year span and win four in a row. Nationally, no one has won more bowl games over the past eight years and BYU is one of only seven programs to win six bowl games in the last eight seasons. The Cougars have won 10 or more games in five of Mendenhall’s eight seasons overall.
