BYU football's Kalani Sitake discusses early bye week plans
Summary

BYU head coach Kalani Sitake addressed the team's early bye week during a press briefing on Monday. The Cougars, who are 3-0 this season, will have a break this week after only three games. Sitake aims to turn the bye into a competitive advantage by focusing on preparing for their next opponent, TCU, which they will face on October 3. Despite the unusual scheduling, Sitake expressed confidence in maintaining team improvement and evaluated their performance through recent game film. This weekend's game against TCU marks the first time in 21 years that BYU plays on the Saturday of the semiannual general conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
