Yesterday at their team meeting, the BYU football team got a special surprise. Senior DB Rob Daniel unveiled special 9/11 themed helmets for the players to wear in their opening home game against Houston:
The helmets incorporate the American flag into the BYU logo, and have a special detail on the back: the four-word phrase "We Will Never Forget."

Likewise, the Houston football team has added a special patriotic touch to their helmets.
Asked if BYU's helmet/uniform might have any special/patriotic touches for UH, Bronco was coy. Here's Houston helmet: pic.twitter.com/2cAyXkIlBC
