Last Meeting 1999: BYU 38, Cal 28
Weather Sunny : high 80, low 56
Latest Line BYU by 3.5 points
===============
Game Overview
===============
BYU is looking good, having steamrolled both opponents so far this
season and putting up nation-leading offensive statistics. Now a real
test appears as the Cougs leave the friendly confines of LaVell Edwards
Stadium and travel to California. Watch for more of Gary Crowton's
playbook to open this week, hopefully catching the Golden Bears
offguard.
Defensively, the Cougars really started to gel last week, holding the
Wolf Pack of Nevada scoreless until the third-stringers surrendered a
meaningless touchdown in the fourth quarter. BYU's front seven have to
be salivating after watching film on Cal's loss last week, because the
Bear offensive line were beaten all day, and quarterback Kyle Boller
spent a good part of the day throwing on the run.
Cal is led by highly respected head coach Tom Holmoe, who was an
all-conference safety for BYU in the early '80s. After winning three
Super Bowls with the 49ers, Holmoe returned to Provo as a graduate
assistant in 1990 and '91. He then was a defensive coach for Stanford,
followed by the 49ers, before going to Cal as defensive coordinator in
1996. He replaced Steve Mariucci as head coach the next year and has
been at the helm of Cal's Program ever since. With the hiring of past
UCLA offensive coordinator Al Borges, this is supposed to be Holmoe's
breakout year with the Golden Bears, but his team is coming off of a
devastating 44-17 home loss to Illinois. They were able to move the ball
well, and actually outgained the Fighting Illini in total yardage, but a
bevy of turnovers made it nearly impossible for them to stay in the
game.
Coach Holmoe has been able to field some great defenses during his time
at Cal, producing first round NFL picks Deltha O'Neal in 2000 and Andre
Carter in 2001. This year's team has a defensive backfield that's
heralded as the best in the PAC-10, but last week was no indication of
that. Confusion reigned supreme as Illinois was able to put up 297
yards through the air. Cal's DBs are chalking the slow start up to
opening-game jitters, and vow to do better against BYU.
===============
Implications
===============
BYU gets to see what they're really made of as they go on the road
against a solid opponent. A win over Cal would start to get the Cougars
a little more national attention.
Cal needs to salvage some semblance of respect after last week's
drubbing. Coach Holmoe would probably benefit as much as anybody by
beating the Cougars, as he has vowed to lead the Golden Bears to a
winning record this season or step down.
===============
Players to Watch
===============
BYU
#7, Levi Madarieta (S) -- His first game in a Cougar uniform last week
yielded this University of Washington transfer four tackles, an
interception, and a reputation as a hard hitter.
#8, Mike Rigell (WR) -- Besides his receiving duties, he's been a
fearless punt returner this season. If Cal continues their special team
blunders that plagued them last week, he could break some big ones.
#55, Justin Ena (LB) -- He'll be expected to help shut down the running
attack of Igber and Williams.
#95, Ifo Pili (DL) -- The big guy is all he was before his mission. . .
and more.
Cal
#7, Kyle Boller (QB) -- A highly touted freshman when he played in Provo
two years ago, Boller has matured into a solid team leader. His
confidence and accuracy has increased as he's developed.
#14, Mark-Christian Jensen (PK) -- This product of Pleasant Grove High
School wanted to go to BYU until he realized he would spend the first
half of his college career standing on the sidelines watching Owen
Pochman do the kicking. After leading the Golden Bears in scoring last
season, he returned to Utah Valley and worked out with Matt Payne and
Aaron Edmonds this past summer.
#30, Joe Igber (RB) -- This junior was a bright spot for Cal last week,
carrying 21 times for 116 yards and two touchdowns against Illinois. The
bowling-ball shaped Hawaiian has had six 100-yard games in his career,
his first coming in Provo in 1999.
#49, Scott Fujita (LB) -- This senior outside linebacker has all the
physical tools to move on to the NFL.
===============
Records to Watch
===============
BYU holds an ongoing NCAA record of 326 consecutive games without being
shut out.
===============
Injury Report
===============
-- BYU --
Brandon Doman (QB) -- After a grade one AC sprain in his right shoulder
during last week's game, he has practiced without discomfort this week
and is listed at 100%.
Isaac Herring (OL) -- He will suit up for tomorrow's game, but will
probably not play after sustaining a sprained MCL and having to exit
last week's game.
Gabriel Po'u Reid (TE) -- He's doubtful after having his knee scoped
following the Nevada game.
Brandon Stephens (DL) -- He will play, though not fully recovered from
an MCL sprain he suffered against Tulane.
-- Cal --
Geoff McArthur (WR) -- After last week's loss, he put his right elbow
through a window in a fit of anger, and required triceps surgery. He's
out for the next three games.

The Next Steve Young? BYU's Doman Hopes So (Yahoo! Sports)

"When standout high school quarterback Brandon Doman enrolled at BYU, he
was cocky enough to believe his mobility would make him the next Steve
Young.
"I figured if he can do it, I can do it," Doman recalled. "Of course,
he's one of the greatest of all time, so that probably wasn't the best
thinking on my part."
"But these days, with Doman efficiently directing the high-scoring
offense installed by new coach Gary Crowton, it's not as strange to hear
Doman and Young mentioned in the same sentence."

the Cougars will be able to play at Mississippi State on Dec. 1 and move
their game at Hawaii to Dec. 8.
"According to Mountain West Conference commissioner Craig Thompson, who
has been working this week to broker a deal, Hawaii has agreed to switch
dates, but only if ESPN will televise the contest. ESPN is considering
that plan, though it is concerned about the travel costs involved with
broadcasting the game."

Last Meeting 2000: BYU 10, UNLV 7
Weather Sunny : high 97, low 73
Latest Line BYU by 7 points
=================
Game Overview
=================
BYU is ready to get back on the gridiron after being idle since
September 8th due to a postponed MSU game and a bye week. The big
question offensively for the Cougs is if the layoff has affected their
timing and quick-strike ability. Judging by comments from the players
and coaches, they shouldn't have any trouble getting the momentum
rolling again. The Cougars have been able to move the ball quickly down
the field, and are an amazing 17 of 17 from the red zone so far this
season, scoring 15 TDs and 2 field goals from inside the 20 yard line,
while holding opponents to 7 of 13.
UNLV is in a moment of crisis after starting the season with three
heart-wrenching losses to Arkansas, Northwestern, and Arizona. Back in
August, the Rebels were media darlings, being picked by some writers to
win the MWC and send quarterback Jason Thomas into Heisman contention.
Now, with Thomas not even completing 40% of his passes, the Rebs have
tailspinned into a sad state of affairs. UNLV's defense and special
teams have been solid, but until they're able to spark some offense,
they're not going to be able to keep up with the likes of BYU.
=================
Implications
=================
BYU needs to beat the Rebels convincingly or any chance of national
respect will have been dashed to pieces. Another win over a winless
team may not boost the Cougs much in the polls, but a loss would
certainly sink them.
UNLV is starting a new season with the beginning of conference play. A
win against #20 BYU in front of a stadium that will be sold out for only
the third time in history would go a long way toward easing the pain of
their early season skid.
=================
Players to Watch
=================
BYU
#4, Jernaro Gilford (CB) -- So far this season, opponents haven't been
throwing to his side of the field very often.
#11, Brandon Doman (QB) -- His ability to read UNLV's defense and make
quick decisions will make all the difference for the Cougar offense on
Saturday.
#20, Reno Mahe (WR) -- His 12 receptions vs. Tulane were the first time
in four years that a Cougar has registered in the double digits for
catches. His elusiveness makes him able to turn ordinary catches into
big gains.
#92, Ryan Denney (DE) -- It will be interesting to watch him go to work
on Saturday after UNLV's offensive tackles said he's "just average."
UNLV
#2, Jason Thomas (QB) -- A 6'4" 230 pound athlete, Thomas has suffered a
slow start to his junior season, but he'll be looking to prove his
ability against the Cougs. He's a dangerous runner if he gets around
the end of the line.
#6, Dominique Dorsey (RB) -- This 5'6" freshman is basically a James Dye
in a red and gray uniform. He would be leading the nation with a
whopping 55 yards per punt return, but with only three on the season,
doesn't quite qualify for national statistics.
#8, Michael Johnson (WR) -- He set an MWC record two weeks ago with 174
receiving yards against Northwestern and is leading the Rebels along
with fellow receiver Troy Mason (#86).
#43, James Sunia (LB) -- Currently eighth on the school's career tackle
leaders list, he had missed 11 straight games with a knee injury before
playing last week and getting 11 tackles. 30 more will make him UNLV's
top tackler in school history.
=================
Records to Watch
=================
BYU holds an ongoing NCAA record of 327 consecutive games without being
shut out.
BYU will look to play three consecutive games without a turnover for the
first time in school history.
=================
Injury Report
=================
BYU
Ifo Pili (DL) -- He had a wisdom tooth pulled on Thursday, but says
he'll be back on the field for the game. It will also be the first time
he's gone without a knee brace since suffering a sprain back in August.
UNLV
Joe Hunter (DB) -- He's been arrested for drug possession charges and
will miss at least this week's game.
