Not exactly what the Cougars had in mind when they declared 2008 the "Quest for Perfection."
Yes, it was a far-from-perfect season-opener, but BYU exploded for a pair of touchdowns in the span of about 90 seconds in the fourth quarter to secure a 41-17 triumph Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium. (Continue reading related article: BYU football: It's not perfect, but Cougars open with win)

PROVO — After completing a 70-play scrimmage Saturday at LaVell Edwards Stadium, the work for BYU's coaches began in earnest.
They met to break down film of the scrimmage and make some tough decisions about which players will start and who their backups will be in the process of solidifying the depth chart.

BYU women volleyball defeat UNLV 3 games to 1
_ _ _
I feel like I've been shooting an awful lot of sports and not much else for The Daily Universe, but my schedule only allows me to shoot evening events - so that means sports. Don't get me wrong, I love it - each sport is a different challenge, and each game has a different way to tell the story, but I also enjoy the challenge of different assignments.
