BYU's Saturday night game against the Fresno Fuego was a chilly, wet affair played in front of a
smaller crowd. I'd love to see Provo get behind our local PDL team, but I wonder what that's going
to take.
BYU had a couple of changes to their normal line-up. Dallin Cutler was sitting out due to a silly
red card at the end of Thursday's game and Jace Green was off after getting married — there are
some things more important than soccer after all.
After Saturday night's game, I was able to catch Coaches Chad Sackett and Brandon Gilliam for a
couple of questions each. I really noticed Brandon being vocal and coaching on the sideline during
the game and it made me think about how the PDL can be a source of coaching development as well as
player development.
Tonight was a busy night of soccer. RSL hosting Chivas USA, the USMNT U23s taking on Canada, and my
hometown BYU Cougars hosting the University of Denver Pioneers in a preseason friendly. Pollyanna
and I went to the BYU game (it's hard to argue with a game a mile from your house), and I tried to
track the RSL game at RSLKickOff while Pollyanna manned the camera and I watched and took notes on
the game in front of us.
It's been raining most of the week, but the weather cleared in time for the game leaving conditions
just about perfect for a night of soccer. Sadly, the recent bead weather seems to have scared
people away. A lot of people missed an entertaining, if chippy, game.
Fresno put BYU on their heels with a piercing run and score off of the opening kick-off.
