The team is a bit banged up at the start of the season. Erik Sikes (returning starting Libero) hasn't played at all, and Brendan Sander is banged up; he didn't play this last weekend at all (but it was against a couple of over matched teams).
Things I liked from the weekend. Ben Patch actually put together a nice serving run against Concordia. If Patch becomes a consistent server he's the best player in the country. Storm Fa'agata-Tufuga gives BYU another talented pin hitter; of course, he is way undersized. One the other hand, it's clear he is one of the best servers on the team (which will be helpful situationally when Brendan Sander returns). Also, I was impressed with his passing (a real weakness for BYU). I really like Miki Jauhiainen too. I think he will become one of the starting MBs as he gets a little more time in BYU's system..
