Ben Bywater has been promoted to starting MIKE linebacker in place of the injured Keenan Pili (ACL).
But Kalani Sitake said replacing the Cougars' top tackler in 2021 is a lot more complicated than moving over one ROVER.

"Dare we dream of Kalani Sitake bringing an 11-0 BYU team to the Coliseum on Nov. 27? If he wins, does he get back on the plane?," -- @slmandel

Local lines of note:
-No. 15 BYU opens a 23-point favorite over South Florida
-Utah returns home to a 12.5-point favorite over Wazzu
-Utah State is a 10.5-point home βdog to Boise State
I'm gonna need @kiki_solano to count how many times Tyler Allgeier just said "literally" in his postgame interview tonight. Please and thank you, #BYUSN crew.
BYU QB Jaren Hall said he feels good after "just getting the wind knocked out of me" at the end of the fourth quarter.
Expects to be healthy for next week's home game against South Florida.

Arizona State has false started 4 times while trying to drive out of its own end with 8:23 left. Toe-tapping catch the only reason Devils haven't punted the ball away, down 21-17.
And then Pepe Tanuvasa records a sack to down Jayden Daniels at the ASU5.
Unreal, @byuROC
Jaren Hall picked off, then Tyler Allgeier goes full linebacker with a touchdown-saving tackle to also force a fumble.
And I want to know how to score that play, @BYUGameNotes.
#BYUvsASU
Halftime | No. 23 BYU 21, No. 19 ASU 7.
Cougars have 29 yards on the ground at the break, but 3 turnovers and 2 touchdowns from Jaren Hall's arm.
#BYUvsASU
Isaac Rex hauls in a 15-yard touchdown from Jaren Hall, but somewhere in Provo, fans want to know ... wHaT aBoUt ThE tIgHt EnDs?!!
No. 23 BYU 21, No. 19 Ariz. St. 7, 4:40 Q2.
"It's personal for me," -- #BYU WR Gunner Romney, who grew up in Chandler, before the Cougars' top-25 matchup vs. No. 19 Arizona State. He has 77 yards and a TD in the first half.
