Summer workouts going well for Cougar gridders
Just talked to BYU offensive lineman Jason Speredon for a story I am working on about how summer workouts are going.
Speredon said three different groups are working out daily under the watchful eye of strength and conditioning coach Jay Omer at either 7 a.m., 10 a.m. or 4:30 p.m.
Coaches other than Omer cannot watch or be involved in the workouts, per NCAA rules.
Besides, coach Bronco Mendenhall is on vacation this week.
Speredon said the players feel a sense of urgency, perhaps a little stronger than in past years, because of BYU's first opponent, Oklahoma.
The workouts are voluntary (another NCAA rule), but Speredon estimates almost every player on the team stuck around this summer to participate in them.

BYU will have one less player in the Mountain West Conference basketball wars to worry about next season.
Jake Schaller of the Colorado Springs Gazette is reporting that Air Force center Phillip Brown won't be back at AFA for his junior season.
The 6-foot-7 Brown played well against BYU in that close Cougars' win at the Marriott Center last season, scoring six points, grabbing four rebounds and blocking three shots in 13 minutes. It was by far his best game of the season.
AFA coaches said they couldn't provide a reason for Brown's departure, citing privacy laws.

BYU's men's soccer team defeated the Ogden Outlaws 1-0 on Wednesday and are now 2-1 against their rivals.
"Our guys were tired tonight. It wasn't the prettiest game to watch," head coach Chris Watkins said. "But we felt like we deserved to win and ultimately did so."
BYU midfielder Richie Bindrup scored the game's only goal on a free kick from about 25 yards out.
The teams will meet again on Saturday in Provo for the final time this season. Fireworks will follow.

The television network Altitude announced it will televise some classic college football games in July, including BYU's 1997 Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State.
On July 27 at 7 p.m., watch the Cougars and Wildcats play in Dallas.
"The pressure was high and the drama was thick in this battle that includes a game-changing interception and a Hail Mary touchdown pass. The teams produced top performances all the way to the final play, when one team finally secured the win," noted Altitude in a news release.
The replay will also be shown at 11 p.m. MT on July 28 and and 10 a.m. MT on July 30.

interesting that Altitude didn't mention that the Cotton Bowl also included the two most egregious pass interference calls I've ever seen--on back to back plays.
I was ready to storm the ACC offices after those calls.
Not sure that would really be necessary for an unbiased game description, but those two non-calls were definitely egregious. I still cannot believe it!
I think Sarkisian is still calling out Chris Canty and in fact K.O. is still probably woozy.
It wasn't K.O. Kealaluhi that got his bell rung, it was Kaipo McGuire. That was one nasty hit.
Yep, Kaipo was quoted along the sidelines after that hit, "Hi, I'm Batman!"
