KSL.com's Sean Walker and BYUtv and ESPN+ analyst Carla Swensen-Haslem are back to break down a tough week for No. 16 BYU women's soccer, which lost on the road to No. 3 UCLA, 1-0 before a 2-1 defeat to in-state rival and 19th-ranked Utah State at South Field on Saturday, Aug. 31, 2024.

Can the Cougars take any good from the two setbacks as they put the finishing touches on nonconference play? And what will this mean for Big 12 competition, which starts next week?

BYU freshman wide receiver Cody Hagen joins KSL.com's Sean Walker to discuss his reaction to making the depth chart for Week 1 of the 2024 college football season, which kicks off Saturday, Aug. 31 against FCS foe Southern Illinois (6 p.m. MT, ESPN+).

Hagen talks about his role in Aaron Roderick's offense as a freshman, his relationship with his brother Cole and how that led to him learning the playbook in less than three months, and why serving a mission straight out of high school was the right thing for him to do.
