This week on Y’s Guys, hosts Dave McCann and Brian Logan deliver a defensive-heavy edition of the show as they spotlight BYU Football’s return as the Big 12’s top defense heading into fall camp. The Cougars rank No. 1 in scoring defense, total defense, pass efficiency defense, and turnovers—including a nation-leading 21 interceptions. Linebacker Jack Kelly sets the tone early by saying he’s aiming for 10 sacks this season—a bold goal with elite company behind him, including Cougar sack legends like Mekeli Ieremia and Jan Jorgensen.
The show welcomes Max Hall, the winningest quarterback in BYU history, back to the desk to talk about quarterback battles, fall camp pressure, and what it takes to seize the starting job. Hall reflects on replacing John Beck in 2006, starting without prior game experience, and going on to win 32 games. He offers thoughtful insight into BYU’s current QB competition between Treyson Bourguet, McCae Hillstead, and Bear Bachmeier, and explains how BYU’s experienced defense and special teams give a new quarterback the best chance to succeed.
Later, the show honors its "Y’s Guy for a Day" contest winner, Tim Filichia, a lifelong BYU fan from Colorado Springs who shares priceless stories from his time as a student from 1977 to 1985. Tim remembers listening to games on the radio at his wedding reception, cutting hair at the BYU Barbershop, and rooting for legendary QBs like Gifford Nielsen, Jim McMahon, and Steve Young. His segment adds a nostalgic and heartwarming touch to the episode.
The crew wraps up with key updates from BYU Basketball, including a loaded non-conference schedule featuring matchups with Villanova, UConn, Wisconsin, Clemson, and potentially Miami or Georgetown. Recruiting buzz continues around Anthony Thompson, a 6’8” 5-star forward who has BYU on his final list. They also highlight Egor Demin’s NBA Summer League performance, Jane Hedengren’s ESPY win, and Heather Olmstead leading Team USA’s U-21 volleyball squad. Cougar Nation has a lot to look forward to.
