Three things BYU football can do to honor LaVell Edwards in 2017

Win

The best way to honor LaVell Edwards is to do what he did so frequently – win.

Edwards compiled 257 wins in Provo, captured the 1984 National Championship, and won seven bowl games with the Cougars. He averaged about nine wins per season as head coach and while helmet decals and jersey patches are a lovely touch, wins last in the history books forever.

Kalani Sitake went 9-4 in his first year, so he’s off to a good start. With the (albeit slight) possibility of the Cougars going 10-3 next season, I think it’s safe to say that Edwards would approve of those results, especially considering he only won 12 games in his first two years.
