The Pirates will be the first team from either of the Carolina s to make a trip to Provo and represent the first squad from North or South Carolina to play BYU. BYU is scheduled to play a return game in Greenville in 2017, marking the first trip to the Carolinas for the Cougars. SAGARIN S TOUGHEST SCHEDULE. BYU ranks No. 1 with the toughest schedule in all of college football according to the latest ratings by USA Today s Jeff Sagarin. The top five goes BYU, Texas, Virginia, Hawaii and Alabama. ECU-BYU CONNECTION. In 1947, the East Carolina Teacher s College started a football program under athletic director Dr. Nephi Moroni Jorgensen, the first son of Danish immigrants born in America after joining the LDS church. Eventually ECTC became ECU in the 1960 s, with the football program and athletic department flourishing under eventual ECU Hall of Famer Jorgensen. Several of Jorgensen s decendents have attended either BYU, ECU or both. VS. THE AAC. BYU is 20-5 against the American Athletic Conference as currently constituted. The Cougars have played Tulsa the most, holding a 7-1 record against the Golden Hurricane. GAME SIX.

The Church operates missions around the world in 145 nations speaking 164 languages. More than 85,000 missionaries representing the Church are serving proselytizing missions in 417 missions around the world. Most of the Church s proselytizing missionaries are young men between the ages of 18 and 26. A substantial number of young women and older couples also serve proselytizing missions. Missionaries work long hours seven days a week for two years (or 18 months for women and couples) teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and participating in community service. 81 members of the 2015 team have served church missions. Members of the team have served in over 25 countries and six of the seven continents around the globe. FIRESIDES The BYU football team will participate in hour-long devotionals prior or team service activities the night before each game this season. The team will conduct devotionals before six games. These devotionals are referred to as firesides and are intended to help players, coaches and those who attend strengthen or gain a knowledge of our purpose here on earth.

12 2015 BYU FOOTBALL COACH MENDENHALL/COACHES NOTES-12 BRONCO MENDENHALL HEAD COACH YEARS AT BYU 11th year as head coach, 13th at BYU YEARS OVERALL 27th year Entering his eleventh season as head coach at Brigham Young University, Bronco Mendenhall has restored the Cougars reputation as one of the nation s top college football programs. Taking over a BYU team that in 2005 was coming off three consecutive losing seasons, Mendenhall has guided his teams to 10 straight bowl appearances, two outright conference championships before football independence in 2011, and regular national top- 25 rankings. Under Mendenhall s leadership, BYU has earned a record to rank 13th in total wins among all FBS teams since 2005 prior to the start of Mendenhall also ranks 13th in winning percentage at.698 among active coaches with at least five years of FBS experience in the same time period. The Cougars finished the 2014 season with an 8-5 record that included a 3-0 mark against Power 5 conference schools. Fueled by Heisman hopeful Taysom Hill, BYU won its first four games including a 41-7 win over then-no. 25 Texas. BYU then overcame a rash of midseason injuries to key players to finish the season with a 10th consecutive bowl game. In doing so, the Cougars became one of 12 programs to earn a bowl inviation in each of the last 10 years. Only Florida State (7) has achieved more than BYU s six bowl victories over that MENDENHALL COACHING RECORD timeframe. The Cougars set a program record with four consecutive bowl wins from , helping Mendenhall become the first BYU head coach to win six bowls in a seven-year span. The Cougars received nine straight bowl invitations for the first time since a string of 17 consecutive bowl bids under Hall of Fame coach LaVell Edwards from 1978 through Mendenhall is the only coach in BYU football history to take his first 10 teams to a bowl game, and is winning at the same pace as the legendary Edwards. Through his 129 games as BYU head coach, Mendenhall has a record of similar to Edwards 129-game mark of YEAR RECORD BOWL/RESULT Las Vegas (L, 35-28, Cal) Las Vegas (W, 38-8, Oregon) Las Vegas (W, 17-16, UCLA) Las Vegas (L, 31-21, Arizona) Las Vegas (W, 44-20, No. 18, Oregon State) New Mexico (W, 52-24, UTEP) Armed Forces (W, 24-21, Tulsa) Poinsettia (W, 23-6, San Diego) In 2006, Mendenhall was named the American Football Coaches Association Region IV Coach of the Year following Fight Hunger (L, 31-16, Washington) an 11-2 season. In addition, the Football Writers Association Miami Beach (L, (2OT), Memphis) of America named Mendenhall one of nine finalists for the prestigious Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year Award TOTAL bowl record, longest streak is 4W He has also served as the defensive coordinator for much of his tenure as the head coach. BYU has consistently fielded one of the nation s strongest defenses under Mendenhall s direction. Mendenhall s defense excels at keeping opponents out of the end zone, averaging a No. 20 national ranking in scoring defense over the past eight of nine seasons, including three top-10 ratings. In 2012, the Cougars featured one of the greatest defenses in school history, allowing just yards, including 86.9 rushing yards, and 14.0 points per game. Ranked No. 3 in total defense, No. 3 in scoring defense and No. 2 in rushing defense, the Mendenhall-coached unit held its first six opponents under 300 total yards (part of a streak of 12 consecutive such games dating back to 2011) and kept opposing offenses without a touchdown six times during the year. Adjusting to the team s up-tempo offense in 2013, BYU s defense ranked No. 12 in yards per play allowed despite defending more plays than all but four teams nationally. Only two teams that defended as many plays ranked better than the Cougars at defending their turf. Another hallmark of Mendenhall s program has been the emphasis on balance and priorities in the many other facets of life outside of football. Reflecting that emphasis, BYU consistently received the most academic all-conference honorees each season as a conference member, while six Cougar student-athletes have earned seven Academic All-America citations under Mendenhall. Only four programs have had more Academic All-America citations during Mendenhall s tenure. In addition, BYU tops all FBS programs for the most selections to the NFF Hampshire Honor Society (3.2 GPA over college career) since the program began in Mendenhall was elected in 2013 to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees as the District 8 Representative and also serves on the Ethics Committee.
