Friction at BYU practice

Posted: 12:46 PM- PROVO - A little friction apparently is developing in Brigham Young's defensive backfield.
    During Tuesday morning's practice, secondary coach Jaime Hill clashed with safety Cole Miyahira. The tiff resulted in Miyahira leaving practice more than one hour early.
    Hill, in his first season at BYU, blew off any questions after practice. He said he would speak to reporters after Wednesday's practice, which is a scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
    "I'm not talking today," he said, without stopping.
    Coach Bronco Mendenhall wasn't aware of the situation and wouldn't comment after practice. He was not near the secondary drills at the time.
    Last week Mendenhall kicked offensive lineman Travis Bright out of practice for continuing to scuffle with a defensive lineman after the whistle. Mendenhall said it was a dead issue after practice.
    A senior, Miyahira has been contending for a starting position. He moved up to the first team when Dustin Gabriel began suffering headaches.
    "Cole has played his best football since he's been here over the last few days when he's had a chance to run with the 'first team"," Mendenhall said after Monday's practice.
