The BYU Cougars host the Texas Tech Red Raiders for an important clash in week eight of college football action. The Cougars are 4-2 while the Red Raiders have a losing 3-4 record. The last time these two teams met was in 1940.
Kalani Sitake, the BYU Cougars coach, took inspiration from the TCU Horned Frogs using adversity in a bid to turn around their season.
“Even though that happened and we find ourselves in a difficult position right now, I know that adversity will get us to the right spot,” Sitake said. “It created a spark for TCU and I imagine that they’re going to keep this momentum rolling. And what we need to do is find the same spark and have the same type of urgency that they did this last week.”

He's feeling good just really sore."
