BYU football unofficially kicked off the 2024 preseason Monday with its now-annual media and corporate partners golf scramble at Cedar Hills Golf Club, where head coach Kalani Sitake, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick and others spent time with the media after playing 18 holes in the second year of the event.

The coaches talked about the on-going starting quarterback competition between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon, the depth of the QB group with Utah State transfer McCae Hillstead joining the team, and low expectations after the 5-7 season in the Cougars' first year in the Big 12.

Longtime BYU communications directors, sports information directors and spokespeople Duff Tittle and Brett Pyne visit the Cougar Beat podcast to discuss their new book, "100 Years of BYU Football," available now at Deseret Book, the BYU Store, Amazon.com and other places you purchase pages.
