- Connor Pay's injury could reshape the 17th-ranked BYU Cougars' season. With a fractured fifth metatarsal sidelining him, the BYU football program's offensive line faces a critical test. How will they adapt without their star center?
This episode explores Connor's leadership role from the sidelines, his recovery timeline, and the strategic adjustments the Brigham Young University (BYU) must make. Elder Ronald A. Rasband's priesthood blessing adds a unique dimension to Connor's journey, highlighting the spiritual support within Kalani Sitake's program. As Sonny Makasini steps into the starting center position, the offensive line's reshuffling under TJ Woods during the bye week becomes a focal point. The discussion also emphasizes maintaining intensity and individual improvement during this crucial period.
Join us for an insightful look at the BYU Cougars' strategies and challenges as they navigate this pivotal moment. Don't miss the chance to hear about the team's path forward and Connor Pay's inspiring leadership.

Just when I thought I couldn’t be any more of a fan….. I’m not even LDS
Honestly, the fact that Connor had a broken bone is probably the best news possible. Hope he gets better by Utah!
Another great episode. Special story by Connor. Wish him speedy recovery.
BYU needs to cut up Connor's message and make it part of their pitch to every high level LDS recruit.
To Conner, Don’t worry about anything but getting well. Prayers
Feels a little strange putting ads on this episode with Connor sharing such a spiritual experience. So glad he felt comfortable sharing that moment with us though.
Dude fr? This is his job? You can have both
Prayers and best wishes for Connor.
We love you Connor and we will be praying for you. Thank you for sharing the light of Christ with us.
What a remarkable young man, Connor is such a good example for all young men, and frankly, for some of us older men as well.
What an awesome person, interview and perspective. I love BYU for this reason
Blessings to you Connor!
Praying for you Connor!
Sending prayers Connor! We hope you have a speedy recovery
This podcast has made Connor one of my all time favorite players. Thanks Jake and Connor!
I am so grateful to Connor for sharing this special moment with us.
I was emotionally affected by his story and testimony.
My respect was high before his share but it continues to grow.
This is why I love our team and the men on the team.
Love you Connor.
It's been so cool getting to see the person Connor Pay is this year as he's emerged more as a senior captain! Such a good guy with a great head on his shoulders!! Grateful to have players like him that lift me and inspire me not just as a person but especially spiritually!
@CPay70 Connor, I don't know if you will ever read this message. I appreciate your willingness to share what happened. Sometimes, we must place a significant piece of ourselves on the altar of sacrifice and let the Lord mold that part of us. I know that some sacrifices are more painful than others. I also know that the price for compassion for others in their trials can come at a steep price. I honor you for sacrificing your foot for a time and not playing in some games so the team can become more unified and fans can see the tender mercies of the Lord upon you. Consider the sacrifice of Coach Hill in responding to a heart attack and how it unified the team. You also have the chance to sacrifice for the unity of the team and to inspire them with this injury. Your sacrifice does not go unnoticed. May you get well soon! We will all keep you in our prayers.
Wow, I couldn't put it down. Totally mesmerizing. Super great show. Prayers for everyone, particularly Connor and Go Cougars!
Running option and passing on 3rd and 2 on the game sealing drive is not conservative. It's RECKLESS!
So proud of who you’ve become Connor! Get better and heal soon! 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for this powerful testimony ❤
A great message. I hope the whole team shares in this spirit.
BYU athletes represent Jesus Christ at all times and in all places.
I went to high school with Connor. He’s a great guy. Wishing the best and praying for him!
love ya connor. we pray for your speedy recovery! ❤❤
Yes! This is better than a soft tissue injury! Pinky toe. Possible, give it what it needs, sooner is not better.
This is the best episode EVER! Connor is such a wonderful, articulate young man! He perfectly talked about his experience with getting a blessing! So impressive!!! I was also so impressed with how Jake allowed him to talk and just listened! A fabulous interview! Thank you Jake and Connor! You both represent BYU and the Church so well!
What an amazing and special experience Connor Pay. So cool to hear the story so thanks for sharing! Get well soon.
Great interview! I love BYU and the church. Get well soon Connor!
what a guy. what a great interview. love the podcast and thanks for your hard work!
I wish Connor best of luck in his recovery. I’ve had a Jones fracture before. I opted for a cast and staying off of it and it healed on its own. Though I’m not high profile athlete like Connor. Again I wish him all the best and hope it heals quickly. Go Cougs!!!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again Connor Pay is such a real and honest man! What an awesome story he told. Beyond sad he’s injured but, through this all it just shows how mature he is and what a huge leader/captain he is! Can’t wait till you’re back Conner, you got this!
Wish Connor a fast recovery. Great attitude he has during this trail period in his life.
I met Elder Rasband when he was still in the Seventy at a Stake Conference. Wonderful man. Scary smart, extremely personable. And, like me, Elder Renlund, and Ben Bywater, Olympus Titans.
Rasbaand is involved with recruiting? He needs to extend a calling to all those big LDS recruits we've been missing out on lol
“It’s not your fault”
Humble and priceless.
How impressive... Only at BYU... Wishing him the best for the season and his recovery.
Inspiring interview with Connor! I appreciate what he shared and his perspective. Probably my favorite Locked on Cougars podcast to date.
please influence him to drop the dress and grooming standards.
Get well soon Connor we need you in line up You're a great person
Just awesome. Thx for sharing
Love that kid!!
God Bless you Connor!! Your a great person and football player!! Thank you for sharing some of your personal story about receiving a priesthood blessing in the locker room!!
Praying for Connor. He is such a wonderful ambassador for BYU athletics. He makes me proud to be a BYU fan and alum.
I couldn't agree more. Now we have a better feel for what's going on in practice and the mental toughness in the locker room and the entire season.
Thank you, Connor, for sharing this experience with us fans. This experience encapsulates perfectly what makes BYU special, and why I am a BYU fan! You are one of my favorite BYU players now and are in my thoughts and prayers.
Conner what a wonderful story thank you for sharing! I really appreciate how open Connor is and his testimony and his recognition of all the blessings he has despite the struggle. Thank you. Conner.
Great young man. Hope he can heal well regardless of whether he plays or not. Some things are more important than football…obviously!
I would love to see Connor come back as a GA. I wonder if that is something he would be interested in?
Definitely think he will after his pro career! And would be a huge asset for recruiting linemen!
Connor did an amazing job in this and that experience will be one to sustain him for life. So sorry he is injured and will miss these games but what matters most to him was strengthen today beyond what most people ever get to experience.
I had a jones fracture in middle school... sucked.
Ball security was a huge question mark at the beginning of the season… and now the exchange that takes place on every single down of offense is in jeopardy. Conner Pay is the last dude that we could afford to lose. More than Roberts, Martin, Retzlaff.
Against Utah is the goal. 3 games, 2 bye weeks. AZ, OKC, UCF glad the first two are at home, Martin being back will help but those just got much more difficult. UCF looks like a scheduled loss. Last three games of the season should be wins…
Unfortunately there is a route where we drop the next 4 and then win out. If you are worried how we go 8-4 that’s it.
Next man up.
The staff will provide reps to ensure the backups are ready.
The mentality of this team is to improve each week.
Keep that mindset and BYU will be fine.
@@interculturalcooperationThat’s a real feel good statement there. Unfortunately that’s all it really is. Next man up doesn’t matter if you didn’t put in the work in the off season and in recruiting.
Jake Eichorn was listed as back up center on the released depth chart, but was in fact not the back up center because Makasini took over. And now we know that there 2-3 guys that may get that role and need to be brought up to speed (essentially learn the role).
BYU was not prepared for this injury. Proven by being unable to withstand Baylors adjustments and with this mini audition. But how many Bronco Mendenhall and Kalani Sitaki teams have started strong and then faded. Depth.
But sure Next man up, or live laugh love or whatever.
@@malaw514 Cheer up bud, we 5-0 2nd year in the big-12, no one expected us to get this far, probably yourself, but alas here we are, leading the big12 alongside iowa state, have faith they will get it done.
Lol live laugh love @malaw514
Elder rasband grew up next door to my grandparents house
I really enjoyed that!
This guy should not risk himself for a single game. He should take it easy and get done what is needed for his future.
"This Guy"? Rethink that one please.
DAMMIT
What!? Please explain your comment.
Do they not make these kids cut their hair anymore? I couldnt even walk in a building without someone handing me a razor. 😂 Great dude though obviously and wish him the best!
