Arizona’s Revenge Game Plan Against BYU | Salt Lake City News

Arizona’s defensive coordinator Danny Gonzales has been obsessively preparing for BYU since January, with a game plan already locked in for their September 12 showdown — fueled by last year’s double-overtime heartbreak and Bear Bachmeier’s standout performance. Gonzales even declared prepping for the Cougars a top priority after their Holiday Bowl loss, signaling a fierce desire for revenge. Meanwhile, BYU’s Kalani Sitake insists his team treats every opponent equally during the offseason, focusing instead on adaptable schemes honed through film study. Both Sitake and offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick hold deep respect for Gonzales’ disciplined, aggressive defense — one that remains consistent despite roster changes. Though BYU edged out Arizona last season in a nail-biting OT thriller (with Bachmeier throwing two picks and one TD), this Saturday promises another brutal, well-coached battle between two teams fully dialed in for war.
