The BYU Cougars are well aware of what the outside perception of Kalani Sitake and his BYU football program is and they are embracing the underdog role as they prepare to enter their second season as members of the Big 12 Conference and Jake Hatch says the feeling around the players and coaches is one of optimism and motivation to prove their doubters wrong.

Jake then talked about the addition of Cole Cogshell to the 2025 recruiting class as he figures to add to a burgeoning group of BYU defensive linemen under the tutelage of defensive coordinator Jay Hill and Cogshell's upside shows he could be a solid contributor whether he's working with Kelly Poppinga or Sione Po'uha on the BYU defensive line.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some notes on the Doman family legacy carrying on at Brigham Young University (BYU) with Jackson Doman announcing he will become a BYU Cougar and mark the 23rd member of the extended Doman family to suit up in Provo and LaVell Edwards Stadium once he returns from his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
