QUOTING HEAD COACH TODD THORNLEY:
"Another week and another tough test against a high-quality opponent this week in one of the toughest places to play in collegiate rugby. BYU is a triple-threat team and shows firepower all over the park so they are a tremendous challenge for us to try to keep quiet. We are excited to prepare well and face this challenge head-on as only our best effort in all areas of our game will suffice."
