BYU Football & Kalani Sitake Need To Navigate LJ Martin's Injury Carefully

Locked On Cougars - Daily Podcast On BYU Cougars Football & Basketball

The BYU Cougars will be without emerging star running back LJ Martin to begin the season, according to multiple reports, and Jake Hatch explains what he knows about Martin's status as well as what Kalani Sitake, Aaron Roderick and Harvey Unga will need to do to ensure Hinckley Ropati, Miles Davis and Pokai Haunga, among others, can make up for loss for the BYU football program in the early going of their second season in the Big 12 Conference.

Jake then caught up with BYU wide receiver Darius Lassiter as the two discussed what made him opt to return to Brigham Young University (BYU) for another season, what he expects from himself as well as fellow standout wideouts like Chase Roberts, Kody Epps, Parker Kingston and Keelan Marion, what he makes of the quarterback battle between Jake Retzlaff and Gerry Bohanon, as well as why he is confident that BYU will be able to prove people wrong in the Big 12 this fall.

Finally, the show wrapped up with a Locked On Cougars insiders group question and answer session as Jake fielded questions on BYU's chances of landing top-tier offensive line prospect Aaron Dunn, how BYU can reverse their current recruiting slump in football, what uniform additions and changes Jake would make as well as Ben Bywater's future plans, among other questions.
