I knew there was a divisive rage building in this country, and candidate Donald Trump unleashed it. Pr

• Stingy defense and a punishing ground attack make Northern Illinois a formidable opponent for BYU on Saturday

  26-10-2018 21:12
  Provo • If the 2017 football season taught BYU fans anything, it was that no opponent can be considered a gimme, no game a cakewalk. Losses to East Carolina and UMass and a narrow escape against Portland State are evidence of that.So as the Northern Illinois Huskies venture into LaVell Edwards Stadium Saturday for a rare afternoon kickoff (1:30 p.m.) in Provo, nobody associated with the up-and-down BYU program is expecting an easy time with the Mid-American Conference power.

  If you don’t remember a Utah State football team ever starting a season 6-1, all is forgiven. You have to go all the way back to 1974 to find a USU team that opened in such torrid fashion.After dropping a 38-31 heartbreaker at Michigan State in their 2018 opener, the Aggies have caught fire and are on a six-game winning streak. They have beaten Air Force at home, and BYU and Wyoming on the road. They are scoring points by the boatload and they aren’t giving up many, either.“We&
