BYU STORYLINES
MEETING. The Cougars are taking on Cincinnati for the first time in program history. Cincinnati is
the third and final FBS team BYU has on the schedule this season that it has played for the first time.
• FRIDAY GAMES. BYU is playing its second Friday game of the regular season. The Cougars beat UConn
earlier this year 30-13 on a Friday. BYU is 11-4 in Friday games under Mendenhall.
• SCHEDULE RANKINGS. BYU’s schedule currently ranks No. 4 according to USA Today’s Jeff Sagarin’s
latest rankings. Cincinnati checks in at No. 82 in the latest rank.
• TUBERVILLE AND BYU. Cincinnati head coach Tommy Tuberville has never faced the Cougars as a head
coach but will remember a trip to Provo in 1990 as a defensive assistant coach with the Miami Hurricanes.
BYU defeated the No. 1 Miami Hurricanes 28-21 behind the arm of quarterback Ty Detmer. With Tuberville
on the staff however, Miami won three national championships, posted an 87-9 record and played in eight
consecutive New Year’s Day bowls during his stint from 1986-1993.
• VS. THE AAC. BYU is 21-5 against the American Athletic Conference as currently constituted. The Cougars have played Tulsa the most, holding a 7-1 record against the Golden Hurricane.

LAST GAME/OPPONENT OUTLOOK-3
BYU VS. AAC
BYU RUNS TO 45-38 WIN OVER ECU
BEARCATS BEAT MIAMI 34-23
When BYU’s offense went cold in the fourth quarter, the
Pirates (3-3, 1-1 American Athletic Conference) rallied
with 17 points to tie BYU (4-2), 38-38.
The Bearcats gained 446 yards and received another
standout performance from redshirt freshman Hayden
Moore, who made his first career start in place of the injured Gunner Kiel, but it was the defense that was most
instrumental in UC’s 34-23 victory over Miami (Fla.) on
Thursday night before a national television audience on
ESPN and a sellout crowd of 40,101, the first since the
Nippert Stadium renovation and the largest on-campus
crowd in UC history.
PROVO, Utah – Algernon Brown’s career performance,
including the game-winning touchdown on the final
drive, led BYU to a 45-38 win over East Carolina in the
homecoming game Saturday night.
CINCINNATI - Playing against a Miami (Fla.) team
that’s known for its abundant speed, the University of
Cincinnati Bearcats discovered that the key to winning
was to slow down.
Quarterback Tanner Mangum left the game during the
third quarter after hobbling following a run but returned
on BYU’s final drive. Mangum went 3 for 4 on the drive
for 27 yards and Brown rushed nine yards for his fourth
touchdown for the game-winner with 19 seconds
remaining.
The defense held Miami to three points in the
second half to help produce a victory that was badly
needed for a UC team looking to put its season
back on the right path after a disappointing start.
The Cougars had 508 yards of total offense, just shy of
the Pirates’ 518 total yards.

2015 BYU FOOTBALL
TEAM NOTES-4
INDEPENDENCE: YEAR FIVE
The 12-game independent schedule features teams from 10 states and six conferences, including the
American Athletic, Big Ten, Pac-12, Mountain West and SEC. BYU has four games scheduled against current
Power 5 teams and seven against teams from the Group of 5 conferences. The 12 teams on the schedule
had a record of 92-53 in 2014, with eight teams coming off bowl games in 2014.
The Cougars will play six home games, five road contests and one neutral site game in 2015. The home
schedule consists of Boise State, UConn, East Carolina, Cincinnati, Wagner and Fresno State. The teams on
the home schedule put together a record of 44-23, with four teams reaching bowl games in 2014. The road
swing includes a big September with Nebraska, UCLA and Michigan. The Cougars visit San Jose State and
Utah State with a game against Missouri at the Kansas City Chief’s stadium in Kansas City, Mo. The road and
neutral opponents combined for a 48-30 record in 2014, with four bowl games.
FLAG BEARERS
BYU has a tradition of selecting a player before each game to run the team flag and alumni flag. The team
selects a former Cougar to carry out the alumni flag, along with the chosen current player who runs out with
the current team flag. The team flag has been signed by each member of the team, while the alumni flag has
been signed by former BYU payers. In 2011, the team added a special teams flag, donned by a vintage BYU
logo adopted by the special teams, following the same protocol as the team flag with an exemplary special
teams player being chosen to carry it each week.

TEAM CAPTAINS
Selected by their teammates, senior quarterback Taysom Hill and senior defensive end Bronson Kaufusi will
serve as team captains for the 2015 season.
LAVELL EDWARDS STADIUM
LaVell Edwards Stadium with its 63,470-seat capacity is home to BYU football. Originally Cougar Stadium, it
was built in 1964 and seated 30,000. It was expanded in 1982 to seat 65,000 permanent seats before official
capacity became 64,045 after refurbishing the middle of the east section. The capacity now sits at 63,470 due
to accomodations for wheelchair access. For the 2012 season the stadium featured new video walls and LED
ribbons on the north and south end zone stands.
Stadium record: 228-69 (.768)
2015 stadium record: 3-0 (1.000)
Under Mendenhall: 51-11 (.823)
MISSIONS
Brigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The
missionary emphasis of the Church is perhaps one of its most recognized characteristics.
Since the organization of the Church in 1830, over one million missionaries have served. The Church operates
missions around the world in 145 nations speaking 164 languages. More than 85,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving proselytizing missions in 417 missions around the world. Most of the Church’s
proselytizing missionaries are young men between the ages of 18 and 26. A substantial number of young
women and older couples also serve proselytizing missions. Missionaries work long hours—seven days a
week for two years (or 18 months for women and couples)—teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and participating in community service.
81 members of the 2015 team have served church missions. Members of the team have served in over 25
countries and six of the seven continents around the globe.
FIRESIDES
The BYU football team will participate in hour-long devotionals prior or team service activities the night before
each game this season. The team will conduct devotionals before six games. These devotionals are referred
to as “firesides” and are intended to help players, coaches and those who attend strengthen or gain a knowledge of our purpose here on earth. Firesides typically include a musical number from members of the team
and talks from selected players, along with coach Bronco Mendenhall.

DEFENSIVE NOTES-10
THE BYU DEFENSE
• Third
Down is key. The Cougars have held opponents to a third-down conversion rate of 25 percent or under
in four games this season. BYU held opposing offenses to 25 percent or under in only two games in 2014 (vs.
Savannah St. & Texas). On the season, the defense is holding the opponent to 30.8 percent on third down.
• Staying Positive. BYU is 52-8 under Bronco Mendenhall with a positive turnover margin. The Cougars
recorded a positive turnover margin in four games this season.
• Take Your Picks. BYU’s defense has recorded two or more interceptions in three of its five games this year
while recording a pick in five of six games. The Cougars had 14 in all of 2014 while they currently have 10.
• Getting Behind the Line. In 2014, the Cougars were 4-0 when notching at least three sacks in a game. In
2015, they are 4-0. Since 2005, BYU is 45-2 when notching three or more sacks in a single game.
• Pass Breakups. Against East Carolina, defensive back Michael Davis had four pass breakups in the 45-38
win. He tied a BYU single game record held by Corby Eason (San Jose St. 10/8/11) and Daniel Sorensen (Texas
9/7/13). Only defensive statistics since 2000 are officially recognized by the NCAA.
• Other notable performers. Linebacker Sione Takitaki had his second multi-sack game of his career with two
against ECU while also notching 2.5 tackles for loss. Defensive back Michael Wadsworth had his third game with
double-digit tackles with 10.
• FBS Active Career Leaders. Bronson Kaufusi is No. 7 in career sacks (18) and No. 21 in TFLs (28.5) among
active career leaders in FBS football.
• Through Six Games. BYU’s 10 interceptions is the most through six games for a Cougar defense under Bronco
Mendenhall. The defense’s 16.0 sacks are tied with 2003 for third-most through six games behind the Cougar
defenses of 2012 (20), 2004 (19).

YEARS OVERALL
27th year
Entering his eleventh season as head coach at Brigham Young
University, Bronco Mendenhall has restored the Cougars’ reputation as one of the nation’s top college football programs. Taking
over a BYU team that in 2005 was coming off three consecutive
losing seasons, Mendenhall has guided his teams to 10 straight
bowl appearances, two outright conference championships
before football independence in 2011, and regular national top25 rankings.
Quarterbacks
Under Mendenhall’s leadership, BYU has earned a 90-39 record
to rank 13th in total wins among all FBS teams since 2005 prior
to the start of 2015. Mendenhall also ranks 13th in winning percentage at .698 among active coaches with at least five
years of FBS experience in the same time period.
The Cougars finished the 2014 season with an 8-5 record that included a 3-0 mark against Power 5 conference schools.
Fueled by Heisman hopeful Taysom Hill, BYU won its first four games including a 41-7 win over then-No. 25 Texas. BYU
then overcame a rash of midseason injuries to key players to finish the season with a 10th consecutive bowl game. In
doing so, the Cougars became one of 12 programs to earn a bowl inviation in each of the last 10 years. Only Florida State
(7) has achieved more than BYU’s six bowl victories over that
MENDENHALL COACHING RECORD
timeframe.
The Cougars set a program record with four consecutive
bowl wins from 2009-12, helping Mendenhall become the first
BYU head coach to win six bowls in a seven-year span. The
Cougars received nine straight bowl invitations for the first time
since a string of 17 consecutive bowl bids under Hall of Fame
coach LaVell Edwards from 1978 through 1994. Mendenhall
is the only coach in BYU football history to take his first 10
teams to a bowl game, and is winning at the same pace as
the legendary Edwards. Through his 129 games as BYU head
coach, Mendenhall has a record of 90-39—similar to Edwards’
129-game mark of 93-35-1.
In 2006, Mendenhall was named the American Football Coaches Association Region IV Coach of the Year following
an 11-2 season. In addition, the Football Writers Association
of America named Mendenhall one of nine finalists for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award.

Mendenhall was elected in 2013 to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees as the District 8 Representative and also serves on the Ethics Committee. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater,
Oregon State. He later coached at Snow College, Northern Arizona, became the youngest defensive coordinator in the
Pac-10 at Oregon State, then went to Louisiana Tech and New Mexico before coming to BYU as a defensive coordinator in
2003.

Another hallmark of Mendenhall’s program has been the emphasis on balance and priorities in the many other facets of life
outside of football. Reflecting that emphasis, BYU consistently received the most academic all-conference honorees each
season as a conference member, while six Cougar student-athletes have earned seven Academic All-America citations under Mendenhall. Only four programs have had more Academic All-America citations during Mendenhall’s tenure. In addition,
BYU tops all FBS programs for the most selections to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society (3.2 GPA over college career) since
the program began in 2007.

He has also served as the defensive coordinator for much of his
tenure as the head coach. BYU has consistently fielded one of the nation’s strongest defenses under Mendenhall’s direction.
Mendenhall’s defense excels at keeping opponents out of the end zone, averaging a No. 20 national ranking in scoring defense over the past eight of nine seasons, including three top-10 ratings. In 2012, the Cougars featured one of the greatest
defenses in school history, allowing just 266.1 yards, including 86.9 rushing yards, and 14.0 points per game. Ranked No.
3 in total defense, No. 3 in scoring defense and No. 2 in rushing defense, the Mendenhall-coached unit held its first six
opponents under 300 total yards (part of a streak of 12 consecutive such games dating back to 2011) and kept opposing
offenses without a touchdown six times during the year. Adjusting to the team’s up-tempo offense in 2013, BYU’s defense
ranked No. 12 in yards per play allowed despite defending more plays than all but four teams nationally. Only two teams that
defended as many plays ranked better than the Cougars at defending their turf.
