BYU Head Coach Kalani Sitake on South Florida

[Brad]

On USF
USF is well-coached, he’s got tons of experience as a Co-OC and assistant at Clemson. He’s been a big part of the culture that they built there and he is trying to do the same thing at USF. We’ve seen the film, a lot of athleticism, a lot of speed, so we’re focusing our mindsets on getting that game and making sure we’re performing our best this weekend.

I’ve been happy with the leadership and their improvement. We need to see a lot of improvement, and that’s both on the players and coaches. I do need to see improvements in a lot of different areas. I was really impressed with the improvements from week two to week three, but we’ve got to make a bigger jump.

We know the game, we know the personnel, a little bit different scheme from them, but we see the athleticism, the speed and the talent on their team. We need to make sure we’re ready to do our best and keep our focus on these guys.

On who will fill in for Keenan Pili
It’s not just going to be Ben Bywater, there’s going to be a bunch of guys that we’re going to need playing against a high tempo, no-huddle team like USF. We’re going to need more than just the 11 starters on defense, we’re going to have to dip into the depth.

Ben is one of the guys that we are going to fill in that we feel really comfortable with, but we feel good about that whole entire group. We’re going to move it around and figure it out in the next few days.

On overcoming the loss against USF in Tampa in 2019
Sticking to our identity and our belief system, staying the course. Keep emphasizing our strengths, what our identity, our program is all about and keep focusing on our culture.

Be proud of what you do and who you do it for. I see young men and their coaches really buying into what we do. Right now our focus is week-to-week and on USF. But it’s been really cool to see what has happened over the past few years.

In last 15 games they are 14 and 1. 

They are one well coached team.

All of their players are married with kids. A few are actually grandfathers.

It all sounds completely sincere to me, if we can beat a team from Florida there is no reason we can’t beat one from Wyoming

or Montana.

Or North Dakota

I wonder if he was trying not to laugh when he mentioned how good of a coach Jeff Scott is.
