New Mexico's Press Release for BYU Game
http://www.golobos.com/news/19981101/fbo/19981101.nmfbo110198.html

"The University of New Mexico plays its final WAC road game as it visits Brigham Young Saturday afternoon. Kickoff is 12:07 p.m. Mountain Time from Cougar Stadium in Provo, Utah.

"The Lobos are 3-6 in their 100th season of football, and 1-5 in their 37th and final year of Western Athletic Conference action following a 28-20 loss to Fresno State last Saturday in Albuquerque. UNM has lost 5 of 6 and 3 straight at home for the first time since 1994."

Y. Linebacker Morris Is WAC Defensive Player of Week
The Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/1998/nov/11031998/sports/59935.htm

"BYU linebacker Rob Morris was named the WAC Pacific Division player of the week. Morris recorded 19 tackles, 13 unassisted, in a 13-0 win over San Diego State. BYU Coach LaVell Edwards said that Arizona State in September, ``I've never seen a linebacker play like he did.'' And Morris ``surpassed that'' against SDSU."

Brighton star Pinegar says he'll go to Y.
The Deseret News
http://deseretnews.com/spt/zl0nnbzc.htm

"The best high school junior center in the state has decided to stay in Utah to play college ball. But get this � he won't be playing for the University of Utah. For a change, BYU won a basketball recruiting war over Rick Majerus and his nationally prestigious program. The Cougars landed one of the top underclassmen in the country on Monday, as 6-foot-9 Brighton High star Jesse Pinegar verbally committed to play for Steve Cleveland's basketball program beginning in the year 2000.

"It is a big relief. I thought about it a lot and decided that's what I wanted to do," said Pinegar, who was being pursued by Utah, UCLA, Duke, Arizona, Stanford and just about every other school with orange-painted rims on their campus.

"It's hard when you get on that campus to not like it," said Pinegar's high school coach, Jim Jimas, who played for BYU. "I think Steve Cleveland did a great recruiting job. He likes him and he felt comfortable to be with him." And gaining Pinegar's allegiance could be a major breakthrough for the BYU program, which has struggled to get its head above water in recent years. Because he's a junior, he can't officially sign a national letter of intent until November 1999. "

Pinegar says yes to BYU
The Provo Daily Herald
http://www.daily-herald.com/dh/dhtoday.nsf/Sports/130C51841F744D62872566B1004F29D6?OpenDocument

"The 6-foot-9 Pinegar, one of the most coveted high school basketball players in the West, told Cleveland and his staff Monday evening that he had decided to attend BYU - even though he still has two seasons to play at Brighton High. "I knew what I wanted to do and I decided, why wait?" said Pinegar

"Pinegar attended BYU's practice Monday afternoon, where he and Brighton's other standout junior, Garner Meads, sat on opposite sides of Phoenix Suns coach and former Cougar star Danny Ainge. The timing of the decision is a coup for Cleveland. When he took the BYU job a year ago, he faced the challenge of stopping the flow of major LDS talent to Utah and national powerhouses like Duke and Stanford.

"We must attract and sign LDS athletes," Cleveland told The Daily Herald last month at the WAC basketball meetings. "We don't need all of them, but we need to be in the mix. It's time for the best LDS players to come back to BYU." "I knew that if I committed now," Pinegar said, "they could start recruiting more players and it would be good for them and for me."

BYU in WAC Driver's Seat, But Not Ready to Ride High
The Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/1998/nov/11031998/sports/59882.htm

"No sooner had the BYU Cougars reclaimed their perch at the top of the WAC standings than they began emphasizing how difficult it will be to stay there through their last three games against New Mexico, UTEP and Utah. ``We're not real comfortable,'' said quarterback Kevin Feterik, ``because, I mean, we got New Mexico -- they beat us last year. And then we got UTEP. They beat us last year. And Utah, and they beat us last year. So we can't get overconfident, you know, we've got a little payback on our minds the next few weeks.''

Injuries taking a toll on BYU hoops squad
The Provo Daily Herald
http://www.daily-herald.com/dh/dhtoday.nsf/Sports/45574D6312808729872566B1004F2844?OpenDocument

"As basketball's opening night draws closer, BYU keeps losing players. "It's getting to where we're almost afraid to count heads at practice," Steve Cleveland said. The Cougs have been without senior point guard Brian Hamilton since the first day of workouts, when he strained his back lifting weights.

"Now Silester Rivers, the 6-foot-7 transfer from UVSC who was expected to step into the lineup at power forward, has gone down with a knee injury. Rivers hyperextended his knee in last Saturday's scrimmage, and underwent an arthroscopic surgery procedure Monday. He'll be out at least a couple of weeks.

"BYU opens the regular-season schedule Nov. 13 against Wofford."

BYU soccer team hosts WAC tourney
The Deseret News
http://deseretnews.com/spt/zl0jt3ll.htm

"BYU and San Diego State aspire to advance deep into the NCAA women's soccer tournament later this month. But first, there is unfinished business � in the form of the WAC tournament, which begins Wednesday at BYU's South Field. The conference champion will receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tourney, which expands from 32 to 48 teams this year. Although BYU (16-3 overall, 5-1 in the WAC and ranked 15th in the country), and San Diego State (17-4, 6-0 and ranked 9th,) are virtually assured a spot in the NCAAs regardless of what happens this week, neither squad wants to leave anything to chance."

BYU's Press Release for UTEP Game
http://www.byucougars.com/football/releases/110998.html

"While BYU kept its destiny in its own hands with a 46-21 thrashing of New Mexico, UTEP had its hopes dashed by a 34-27 overtime loss at Utah. The Pacific Division title goes the Cougars if they win their remaining games, but if BYU slips, San Diego State and Utah have a shot at the title. BYU goes on the road at UTEP and Utah. Utah travels to New Mexico and hosts BYU. San Diego State goes to San Jose State and hosts UTEP."

UTEP's Press Release for UTEP Game
http://www.utep.edu/paydirt/football/notes/

"Last season the Miners pulled off one of the biggest upsets in not only their history but in college football in 1997 by defeating the 25th-ranked Cougars, 14-3. The win snapped a 10-game losing streak to BYU, but the Cougars still owned the 27-7-1 advantage in the head-to-head series."

BYU QB Feterik, LB Morris Are Named WAC Players of the Week

"Brigham Young quarterback Kevin Feterik hit 25 of 42 passes for a career-high 422 yards to win offensive Player of the Week honors in the Western Athletic Conference's Pacific Division Monday. BYU linebacker Rob Morris recorded 10 solo tackles in the 46-21 victory over New Mexico to earn defensive Player of the Week honors."

Cougs, Feterik Riding Titanic High
The Salt Lake Tribune
http://www.sltrib.com/1998/nov/11101998/sports/61027.htm
11/10/98

"Amazing what a 400-yard passing day can do for a quarterback's confidence. Wallowing in insecurity and doubt just a few weeks ago, BYU's Kevin Feterik is now practically screaming ``I'm king of the world!'' from the bow of the Cougar ship. ``I'm so confident in my receivers right now, I just throw it up there and tell them to come down with it,'' he said. And the pass protection? ``I'm just back there kind of in my own little zone,'' he said.

"It's showing. The Cougars have won five games in a row to take control of the division title chase, and Feterik is looking more comfortable which each one. He won WAC Pacific Division Offensive Player of the Week honors for his 422-yard performance in a 46-21 victory over New Mexico on Saturday -- the best game for a BYU quarterback since Steve Sarkisian had 536 against Texas A&M in the 1996 season-opener -- and has completed 87-of-133 passes for 1,318 yards, nine touchdowns and just one interception since the team's last loss. Prospects for a rotation with backup Drew Miller are not merely absent, but absurd."

"Times have changed. Obviously. The Cougs staged an exciting second-half rally to whip a pretty decent California All-Star club 93-87 Saturday night at the Marriott Center. And coach Steve Cleveland was... Thrilled? No. Reasonably pleased? No again. Verging on furious? Well, yeah. "I told the team that there probably isn't a Division I team in the country we could have beaten tonight," Cleveland fumed.

"After all the work we've done on our offense, we didn't run it at all. "And defensively, I can't really remember giving up that many points in all my years of coaching. "We've got a long, long way to go."

BYU's hoop offense perfect for Bigelow

"He's new. He's a rookie. But Mark Bigelow is the perfect player for BYU's motion game, according to coach Steve Cleveland. "He's the one guy on our team who knows how to move without the ball in our offense," Cleveland said. Bigelow, a 6-foot-6 freshman from Olympia, Wash., led the Cougars with 28 points and 11 rebounds in Saturday's 93-87 exhibition win over the California All-Stars. Bigelow made 9 of 12 field goals, including a pair of treys.

"He bombed from outside. He got put-backs. He did some slashing and driving. And BYU fans got a peek at the future. "Mark ran this offense in high school and knows all the ins and outs," Cleveland said. But while Bigelow plays with plenty of cool, he claimed his first appearance in a Division I game - albeit an exhibition - made him nervous. "I was nervous, but excited," Bigelow said."

BYU wins game but loses Jepsen to ankle sprain

"A preseason exhibition game, especially one against a foreign team, is hardly a measuring stick for future performance. Still, such a seemingly harmless contest can have serious implications on future performance. BYU learned that frightening lesson Tuesday night at the Marriott Center during a 94-68 exhibition blowout of BC Matav Pecsi, a team from Hungary, as the Cougars saw yet another key player, center Bret Jepsen, suffer an injury. Jepsen sustained a moderate ankle sprain midway through the first half and did not return to the game. Coach Steve Cleveland isn't sure if the 6-foot-11 junior will be ready for Friday's season-opener. "Bret is day-to-day," Cleveland said. Forward Silester Rivers and guard Brian Hamilton, who missed Tuesday's game due to injuries, are two other wounded BYU players. Neither will be available Friday.

"As for BYU players who are healthy, freshman Mark Bigelow turned in another sparkling performance. Bigelow led the Cougars in scoring and rebounding for the second straight outing. The 6-foot-6 forward logged a double-double with 20 points and 10 rebounds to complement his 28-point, 10-rebound performance Saturday night in an exhibition victory over the California All-Stars."

Recruiting battle going well for BYU programs

"It may be two years before Brighton High star Jesse Pinegar actually puts on a BYU jersey and trots on the floor. But fallout of his early commitment to Steve Cleveland's basketball program is already reverberating across the West. Pinegar is listed as one of the top juniors in the country by Street and Smith's, Athlon and Dick Vitale's preseason basketball magazines.

"SPEAKING OF recruits, Luke Staley, a running back/defensive back from Oregon who has committed to LaVell Edwards had a monster championship game over the weekend. Staley, the younger brother of Cougar defensive back Dustin Staley who is now on an LDS mission, scored six touchdowns in leading Tualatin to the Pac-8 championship in a 49-7 win over Forest Grove Friday. Putting together a highlight film, Staley had touchdown runs of 9, 66 and 76 yards. He caught touchdown passes of 14 and 60 yards and also returned an interception 49 yards to paydirt. Considered by rival coaches as Oregon's best prep football player, Staley finished the day with 307 yards rushing on 19 carries. He caught five passes for 82 yards and had two interceptions."

"UP NORTH in Idaho, Glenns Ferry star Alex Ferris finished his prep career over the weekend just days after committing to BYU. The lightning-quick multi-talented Ferris rushed for 173 yards on 17 carries in a loss to Teton. Considered the best athlete in 3-A in Idaho by Idaho Statesman sports writer Jeff Pinkham, Ferris had just 16 yards rushing at halftime, but boosted his totals with a 77-yard touchdown gallop. Ferris will likely play safety at BYU."

Farris wheels out commitment to BYU

"Like the way BYU has upgraded its speed on defense? Well, the Cougars just got a little faster. Alex Farris, the fastest player at the Cougar football camp the past two years, verbally committed to LaVell Edwards Tuesday night. That brings to five the number of players who have told Edwards they will sign letters of intent in December (for junior college transfers) or February. Farris plays running back and linebacker at tiny Glenns Ferry High in Glenns Ferry, Idaho, but will probably be a safety and/or nickel back at BYU. He ran a 4.54 40 at BYU this summer, and was offered a scholarship before leaving camp."

Y. hoops roster requires juggling act
Deseret News
http://deseretnews.com/spt/zt0k1gb7.htm
11/11/1998

"Under the Big Top of the Marriott Center, home to one of the country's biggest college basketball rebuilding projects, BYU coach Steve Cleveland and his staff have the best juggling act this side of Ringling Bros. This behind-the-scenes performance has Cougar coaches attempting to do the impossible: evaluating and integrating more than two dozen BYU players � including a revolving door of missionaries � while observing the NCAA-mandated 13-scholarship limit. There's not much room at the BYU Basketball Inn, even though it's not Cleveland's fault and the numbers have been pared down since last year. BYU's roster is bursting at the seams with a collection of rising young stars, semi-established veterans, newcomers, role players, walk-ons, redshirts and whiteshirts (LDS missionaries).

"Planned right, the missionary program can be a boon to a program. Planned poorly, the results can be disastrous (see the 1-25 BYU team). Currently, the Cougars have 10 missionaries serving around the world and several will be back prior to next season to find a limited number of scholarships available, forcing Cleveland to make some tough decisions."

Orem's Opunui commits to Cougars

"Shawn Opunui of Orem High, considered the best prep point guard in Utah, has verbally committed to play for BYU. Opunui, a 5-foot-11 senior, said he will sign a letter of intent to play for the Cougars, but won't be part of the program until he serves an LDS Church mission. "It was BYU's flexibility in allowing me to serve my mission first that made the difference in recruiting," Opunui said. Opunui said he liked BYU's coaching staff and the fact they are perfectionists in what they do.

"Coach Steve Cleveland came to my house and was very honest, putting everything on the table," Opunui said. "I like that. Some coaches were kind of shady about their plans for me. "I think BYU basketball is on the right track. When I return, it will be a very strong program. That's where it's headed right now." Opunui averaged 16.5 points and 5.5 assists as a junior. Known for his quickness and ball-handling skills, he also shot 48 percent from beyond the 3-point arc and 85 percent from the free-throw line."
