The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Meet Druw Bowen

Maybe BYU can borrow him Saturday? The Cougars have two 20-yard passing plays this season. One was a 39-yard catch-and-run by a running back. The other was a 23-yard throw to a receiver.

Plus, Bowen is 6-foot-2, and BYU seems to like those big targets.

That receiver is 6-foot-6 Nick Kurtz, who set a career-high with eight catches in the game and has caught a pass in 14 straight outings. Moroni Laula-Pututau, a 6-4 target, leads the team with 13 receptions for 131 yards.

“The bigger bodies are kind of hard to deal with, just as far as being aggressive with them because of how big and physical they are and how they can create separation, not necessarily with speed but with being able to body you up and leverage you and box you out,” safeties coach Matt Caponi said.

“That will pose a challenge for us. The first couple weeks, we saw more speed guys. They’ve got a couple speed guys who can run and are smaller, but the bigger wideouts, we’ve got to try to out-physical them on the line of scrimmage and battle for the ball and compete with them to try to make some plays.”
