BYU's defensive passing game coordinator Jernaro Gilford is gearing up his cornerbacks for a crucial Big 12 showdown against East Carolina. The Cougars face a significant challenge in containing ECU's high-powered passing offense, making this matchup a potential turning point in their 2025 season.
Gilford's strategy revolves around a dynamic cornerback rotation, with Tre Alexander and Mory Bamba at the forefront.
