It’s 117 degrees in Las Vegas today, but somehow it’s starting to feel like football season.
As Big 12 media days kick off here, BYU coach Kalani Sitake and five of his players will represent the Cougars in Sin City this week. BYU is bringing some of its top talent: wide receivers Chase Roberts and Darius Lassiter will join Sitake, along with offensive lineman Connor Pay, defensive end Tyler Batty and cornerback Jakob Robinson.
