BYU and Mississippi State are meeting for the fourth time in the history of the two programs. BYU holds a 2-1 edge after last season's 28-21 double overtime victory at LaVell Edwards Stadium. In the only other matchup in Starkville, BYU defeated the Bulldogs 41-38 in 2001 on a game-winning field goal from Matt Payne. Current Cougar running backs coach Reno Mahe had 10 receptions, 189 yards and two touchdowns in the game. ONE MISSISSIPPI, TWO MISSISSIPPI. Mississippi State and Ole Miss are the only two SEC teams BYU has defeated on the road. The Cougars currently have a .500 record against the current teams in the SEC at 6-6. Earlier this season, BYU fell to LSU in a neutral site game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. TEAMS COMING OFF A BYE. Mississippi State is coming off of a bye week just like Boise State was last week when the Cougars faced them. BYU also hosts San Jose State later this season after the Spartans are coming off of their bye. The Cougars were in a similar situation in 2016 and went 2-1 against teams coming off of bye weeks (West Virginia, Toledo, UMass). INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN. BYU's trip to Starkville is the first of back-to-back long road trips for the Cou- gars. As the crow flies, the trip to Mississippi State will be 2,706 miles total (round trip), while BYU's trip to Greenville, North Carolina next week racks up 3,798 round-trip miles. Combined, that's 6,504 miles. By comparison, Mississippi State's longest road trip this season is a round trip of 978 miles and Alabama's entire schedule away from Tuscaloosa adds up to 2,329 miles (round trip). With six road games and one neutral site game, BYU will accumulate about 17,246 miles of travel during the regular season. ROUGH PATCH. This is the first time BYU has lost five consecutive games since the 1970 season. A win over the Bulldogs would avoid BYU dropping to 1-6, a start the team hasn't experienced since 1968 when the team won the first game and then lost seven in a row, falling to 1-7. HONORING LAVELL. Legendary hall of famer and beloved head coach at BYU for 29 seasons, LaVell Edwards, passed away on Dec. 29, 2016. The always steady and humble coach will be honored in several ways throughout the season, including the team wearing a uniform patch featuring his classic stoic profile he displayed for decades on the Cougar sidelines.

NO. 24 BULLDOGS DROP DECISION AT NO. 13 AUBURNAUBURN, Ala. - In a Top-25 matchup on the Plains Sat-urday night, No. 24 Mississippi State (3-2, 1-2 SEC) fell to No. 13 Auburn (4-1, 2-0) by a final score of 49-10. A 59-yard rush by Tiger tailback Kerryon Johnson on AU's first possession set the tone for a night in which the Auburn offense did most of its damage on big plays and took an early lead that the Bulldogs were never able to claw back from.

Auburn initially jumped out to a 21-3 lead, MSU's lone early points coming from a Jace Christmann field goal after sophomore defensive tackle Jeffery Simmons forced a fumble by AU quarterback Jarrett Stidham that was recovered by junior linebacker Montez Sweat. The Bulldogs got into the end zone later in the first half when sophomore quarterback Nick Fitzgerald rolled out and threw across his body to an open Justin Johnson for a six-yard score.

Fitzgerald finished the game 13-of-33 passing for 157 yards, two interceptions and one touchdown, and he was also the team's leading rusher, rushing 13 times for 56 yards. With 60 yards on two catches, sophomore Jamal Couch was MSU's leading receiver.

The Bulldogs will be off next Saturday before returning home Oct. 14 to begin a two-game homestand. On that date, State will entertain BYU with kickoff time expected to be announced this Monday, Oct. 2. MSU will follow that contest by hosting SEC foe Kentucky for Homecoming on Oct. 21.

HEAD COACH DAN MULLEN QUOTESOn the lack of competitiveness"If I would've known that we had close to the same rushing yards as them at the beginning of the fourth quarter, I would've said it was a three-point game and we're going to try to win it at the end. The big plays really hurt today on the defensive side of the ball. There were some missed opportunities on the offensive side. Last week I don't think we played well. I'm anxious to see the film this week to see if we played better than last week, but just missed some plays. If that's the case then we'll take a look and try to get that fixed. If we played worse than that'll just be disappointing that we didn't get better."

On the younger guys"With two starters out, it gives the younger guys some opportunities to make some plays. We do have to play better and make plays. The opportunities are there, we just have to make plays."

MISSIONSBrigham 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 150 nations speaking more than 160 languages. More than 70,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving prose-lytizing missions in 422 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.

About 64 percent of the current team has served an LDS mission. Members of the team have served in 28 different countries and six of the seven continents around the globe. BYU currently has about 30 members of the team (previous signees or on roster) that are currently serving in the mission field.

HONOR CODEBYU’s Honor Code helps maintain this learning environment. Initiated by students in 1949, the Honor Code emphasizes being honest, living a chaste and virtuous life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, using clean language, and following other values in line with the doctrines of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

INDEPENDENTS SNAPSHOTBYU is one of four FBS Independent teams. Here is a look at how the Cougars and the four other independents did last week.

POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Polynesian Islands have become a hotbed for recuiting in recent years, but BYU has been one of the pioneers in bringing these players from Tonga, Samoa, the Hawaiian Islands and all of Polynesia to the forefront of college football since the early 1950s. More than 40 members of the current roster are of Polynesian descent.

Some of BYU’s most celebrated and decorated players have come from the Pacific islands, including All-Americans, national record holders, players who have gone on to compete in the NFL and now, several members of BYU’s current coaching and support staff.

Kalani Sitake was named BYU’s 14th head coach on Dec. 19, 2015, becoming the first Tongan head football coach in the NCAA. His staff includes Polynesians Ilaisa Tuiaki, Steve Kaufusi, Reno Mahe, Nu’u Tafisi, Russell Tialavea, Tevita Ofahengaue, Jack Damuni, Jasen Ah You, Sione Kinikini, Vince Feula and Harvey Unga.

FORMER PLAYERS ON STAFFThere are 20 former BYU football players on the football and athletic admnistration staff. Members of the staff were part of Cougar teams that won the 1980 “Miracle Bowl,” the 1984 National Championship, Heisman Trophy, 1996 Cotton Bowl along with many other accolades. Eight of BYU's 10 full-time coaches played football for BYU, more former players coaching at the alma mater than any other school.Tom Holmoe DB 1978-82 Athletic DirectorKalani Sitake RB/FB 1994, 97-00 Head Football CoachChad Lewis TE 1993-96 Associate AD/DevelopmentLee Johnson P 1980-84 Assistant Development DirectorRobbie Bosco QB 1981-85 Varsity Club/DevelopmentFui Vakapuna RB 2002-03, 06-08 Assistant to the ADEd Lamb LB/DE 1994-96 Asst.

PROVO, Utah – BYU scored a first-possession touchdown but couldn't find the end zone again in a 24-7 loss against Boise State Friday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

"We did some positive things," BYU head coach Kalani Sitake said. "We really don't have a chance to compete if we're unproductive on offense though. We're anxious to get to work and fix things."

Freshman tight end Matt Bushman had career highs of seven receptions and 65 yards against the Broncos. Junior quarterback Tanner Mangum completed 18 of 33 passes for 164 yards on the game, but was picked off twice.

Freshman Joe Critchlow got his first collegiate action behind center, with 2 of 4 passes complete for eight yards. Freshman running back Ula Tolutau carried the ball nine times for 38 yards and a touchdown.

On defense, senior linebacker Grant Jones got his first career interception for the Cougars. Senior linebacker Fred Warner led BYU with 10 tackles.

The Cougars (1-5) were outgained 300 to 238 total yards of offense by the Broncos (3-2).

Jones intercepted the Broncos on the first drive of the game to give the ball to the Cougars.

Mangum marched BYU 48 yards on 10 plays for the first touchdown of the game halfway through the first quarter. Tolutau punched in a three-yard touchdown run, and the Cougars led 7-0.

Boise State tied the game at 7-7 with an early second-quarter touchdown. Alex Mattison crossed the goal line after a 12-yard run to level the score with 11:51 until the half.

The Broncos kicked a field goal with 3:49 left in the third quarter after an interception. Their 10-7 lead was extended just before the half ended, as Brett Rypien connected with Sean Modster for a 24-yard touchdown pass over the middle. Boise State led 17-7 going into the locker room.

Neither team scored in the third quarter, but Boise State had the ball on the BYU 9-yardline as the gun sounded. Three plays into the fourth quarter, Mattison ran into the end zone from two yards out for a touchdown and 24-7 Boise State lead.

FATHERS AND SONSBYU has a family legacy unique to many other institutions. This year's squad features eight players with fathers who also played football at BYU.

Kalani Sitake (pronounced kah-lah-nee see-tah-kay) was named head coach overseeing the BYU football program on December 19, 2015, by director of athletics Tom Holmoe.

Sitake is the 14th head coach in BYU history. He comes to BYU from Oregon State, where he served as assistant head coach and defensive coordinator.

A former Cougar running back (1994, 1997-2000), Sitake returns to his alma mater with 15 years of coaching experience, including seven years a defensive coordinator and four seasons as an assistant head coach.

Prior to serving as assistant head coach and defensive coordi-nator at Oregon State in 2015, Sitake spent 10 seasons at the University of Utah. He started at Utah in 2005 as the linebackers coach and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2009 before also being named assistant head coach in 2012.

Sitake has coached several Pac-12 and Mountain West Confer-ence honorees, including Morris Trophy winners Star Lotulelei (2011) and Nate Orchard (2014). He also helped mentor 14 NFL Draft picks during his time at Utah, including 12 all-league players and three freshmen All-Americans. He helped the Utes win seven of eight bowl games during his tenure.

Sitake began his coaching career in 2001 as the defensive backs and special teams coach at Eastern Arizona before becoming a defensive graduate assistant at BYU in 2002. Sitake then joined the staff at Southern Utah where he coached running backs, tight ends and offensive line during the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

Born in Nuku’alofa, Tonga, and raised in Laie, Hawai’i and Provo, Utah, Sitake becomes the first FBS head football coach of Tongan descent. He is the 14th head coach in BYU history, and just the fourth since 1972, when Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards took over the program.

Sitake began his BYU playing career in 1994 prior to serving a two-year mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to Oakland, California. After returning and redshirting in 1997, Sitake was a three-year starter at fullback for the Cou-gars from 1998-2000 under Edwards.

He was named BYU’s Football Scholar Athlete of the Year in 1998, Impact Player of the Year in 1999, along with team captain and the most valuable running back in 2000. He signed a free agent contract with the Cincinnati Bengals in 2001, but was forced to retire due to an injury.

Sitake graduated from BYU in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in English. He and his wife Timberly have three children, Skye, Sadie and Kelaokalani (KK).
