PROVO, Utah (AP) — BYU is honoring some of its former great quarterbacks this weekend as the Cougars host Washington in the season opener.

One of them will be busy coaching the opponent.

Former Cougar Steve Sarkisian is entering his second season as Washington’s coach. He’s one of eight BYU quarterbacks selected to all-America teams that will be honored at halftime Saturday.

Sarkisian says he won’t be too nostalgic during the festivities. He’s the head Husky now and says his focus needs to be on his team.

Sarkisian led BYU to a 14-1 season in 1996. The only loss that year happened to be to Washington.
