LDS Coach Reid Meets his Mentor
It was student vs. mentor, employee vs. boss and friend vs. friend Sunday when the Philadelphia Eagles, coached by LDS Church member Andy Reid, met Mike Holmgren's Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.

Despite Layoff, Cougars Continue to Climb National Polls
Despite not playing a game since Sept. 8 (at California), BYU climbed to No. 20 in both the Associated Press and USA Today/ESPN Coaches polls.

Cougars Return To Grid Iron After 20-Day Layoff
BYU (3-0) will travel to Las Vegas to take on MWC foe UNLV (0-3) on Saturday, Sept. 29, ending a 20-day layoff for the Cougars. No. 20 BYU last played on Sept. 8, defeating Cal, 44-16, in Berkeley, Calif. The Cougars' game at Mississippi State, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 15 in Starkville, Miss., was postponed after the terrorist attacks on the United States, marking the first time since World War II (1943-1945) BYU has not been able to play due to national concern. The game will mark the league-opener for both teams. (UNLV's MWC-opener against Colorado State was also postponed).
