Vanderbilt head coach Clark Lea talks about what he told his team when they didn’t make the CFP:
“The message was, 'We had control over this ... and we did not do enough.' I think it's really important that we take ownership. ... The world expects us to be disappointed right now, but what we are is excited [for the bowl game]."
Saturday in Arlington:
Big 12 Coach of the Year (Kalani Sitake)
Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year (LJ Martin)
Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year (Jacob Rodriguez)
Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year (Bear Bachmeier)
11-1 BYU v. 11-1 Texas Tech for a CFP auto-bid.
In a sold-out 80,000-seat stadium.
Decades of grinding through G6 leagues and independence have brought BYU and Cougar Nation to this.
What a moment!
It’s gonna take the National Guard to take this team outta the playoffs. If the committee wants to steal it from us we’ll just take it on Saturday! #coachstays#ProvoDave
I arrived in Provo as a young man with @BNKonFOX not knowing what to expect. I was overwhelmed with all the love I received from Cougar Nation. From Cosmo to Kalani it was all love. From the ice cream to the dirty soda to the weird guy at the pizza shop it was all love. Coach Sitake danced his way into my heart. There is no place like Provo and Provo can’t exist without BYU football. And BYU football can’t exist without Kalani. And neither can #ProvoDave Stay Kalani Stay!
BYU fans, we play Texas Tech this week, and one of their fans is in need of help. She was hit by a drunk driver and is in the ICU. Her husband is the team barber.
Let’s show them our love and support by Jimmering this go fund me! ❤️
One of the toughest dudes I’ve ever seen on a football field. I’m so glad he trusted in God and himself and made the decision to come here. BYU is a better place because of Sione Moa!
