PROVO, Utah -- Reno Mahe wore a pair of pink shoes Monday and plans to do the same at the Poinsettia Bowl on Dec. 21. Pink was his daughters favorite color.The BYU running backs coach buried 3-year-old Elsie on Saturday.As far as honoring her, its one of those things. As a dad, you just try to live a good life and honor her in that way, Mahe said. Ive got a bunch of other little rug rats running around in my house. Hug them a little more, and spend a little more time with them.Mahe smiled, cracked a few jokes and seemed at peace Monday as he and his family deal with the aftermath of the accident that took his daughters life. Elsie was found tangled in a mini-blind with cords wrapped around her neck on Nov. 22. She died a week later.Reno, his wife, Sunny, and their seven remaining children have been showered with love from the BYU community, the University of Utah community and well-wishers from around the country. Hundreds attended a public service Friday in Salt Lake City.For the most part, weve been consoling a lot of our friends and family more so than being consoled, Mahe said. But itll be good. Itll be all right.The first-year BYU football staff has grown incredibly close with one another and the team. Sunny had been making cookies for the running backs group on Wednesdays -- dubbed Cookie Wednesday -- before the accident. The players upheld the tradition by bringing cookies to the hospital the Wednesday after the accident.Any time you have a situation like that, it does kind of bring people closer, Mahe said. For the most part, we have a pretty close-knit group here, regardless. Any closer just would be a little weird. Everyone has each others back. It definitely had to touch another part of the players soul or heart or whatever. Theyve been awesome.Receiver Mitchell Juergens said, Very hard to see them go through this, but at the same time, just eye-opening how well their perspective on this whole process has been. Theyre very positive people, and they understand the Lords will. I think it brings us comfort knowing that hes OK.Mahe credits his familys faith for their ability to navigate this difficult time. Sunny has been active on social media, posting updates on Elsies condition and expressing gratitude for her peaceful passing. Reno said he appreciated having football as an escape.I do feel for my wife on that she doesnt get to escape like I do, Mahe said. Well work through that. The Polynesian culture, theres 100 people at the house. It was nice to get away for a little bit.Both BYU and Utah are likely to do something in honor of the Mahe family?at the Foster Farms Bowl on Dec. 28.There are several connections between the staffs at BYU and Utah, even though the universities are longtime rivals. BYU coach Kalani Sitake played for and graduated from BYU but coached 10 years at Utah. Utes coach Kyle Whittingham played for and graduated from BYU and hired Sitake as defensive coordinator at Utah. Mahe and Utah co-offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick played together, and Mahe is close with Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley. Mahes brother graduated from Utah.Mahes voice never wavered while he discussed his daughter Monday. He flashed his usual wide smile and didnt hesitate to joke a bit.I dont believe in coincidence, he said. The Lord has a plan for all of us, and I think that was just part of our plan.

Pakistan 133 and 129 for 7 (Azhar 31, Azam 29, Boult 3-18, Wagner 2-21) lead New Zealand 200 (Raval 55, Nicholls 30, Rahat 4-62, Amir 3-43, Sohail 3-78) by 62 runsLive scorecard and ball-by-ball detailsTest cricket is as much about execution of tactics as much as it is about planning. It allows teams the luxury of switching plans midway. In blunting 35 overs for a little over one run per over after restricting their first-innings deficit to 67, Pakistan ensured the new-ball storm was weathered. But their crawl allowed New Zealand to take the edge when they came out with renewed verve after tea on a bright and sunny day in Christchurch.Neil Wagner, who bowled full and slanted the ball across in the hope of bringing the slip cordon into play before the interval, switched to his usual modus operandi of troubling batsmen with short balls aimed at the ribcage, and broke Pakistans spine in the process. At 129 for 7 at stumps, ahead by 62, with just Asad Shafiq and the tail remaining, Pakistan were in danger of losing their second successive Test, barring an unlikely thunderstorm for the better part of the next two days.Wagner triggered the turnaround when he caught Babar Azam on the hop on a couple of occasions before having him glove a bouncer down leg side to wicketkeeper BJ Watling to bring up his 100th Test wicket. Then, Younis Khan was put through a similar short-ball test, the disconcerting bounce pushing him deep into the crease to fend.Did he anticipate the sucker ball? He may have, but in sticking to his short-ball tactic, Wagner outfoxed Younis, whose uncomfortable stay ended when he tried to get out of the way of a delivery that reared up to brush his gloves on its way through to Watling. A tiring Wagner, whose second spell read 11-5-9-2, made way for Trent Boult and Southee, whose relentless attacks kept the batsmen on their toes.Azhar was reprieved when he chanced a risky run off a deflection at slip. However, the missed opportunity hardly affected New Zealands body language as they stuck to their Plan B and were soon rewarded with the wicket of Misbah, when an attempted hook off Southee resulted in a catch to Boult at fine leg.Three balls later, Azhar, after digging in for close to four hours, drove away from the body to get a thick inside edge onto the stumps. Booult then completed the big-ticket set when he got the ball to tail back in late to sneak past Sarfazs defense and flatten the leg and middle stump.dddddddddddd By then, the complexion of the game had already changed, enough to change the mood of the Pakistan camp from hope to despair.The foundation for their rewards in the final session was laid before lunch. The two-hour passage didnt produce runs or wickets by the truckloads. Yet, nearly every ball was an event on a surface that offered just enough in terms of lateral movement. Pakistan lost Sami Aslam after nearly 18 overs of defiance, in which the opening pair added 21.The first hour after lunch produced just 19 runs in 15 overs, with Southee, who bowled five successive maidens in a row, troubling the batsmen by swerving the ball away late. It was a classic case of pressure built at one end resulting in a release at the other when Colin de Grandhomme - whose cameo 29 helped New Zealand drive into the lead - picked up his seventh wicket on debut when Aslams tentative push to a delivery that angled in and then deviated a little off the pitch resulted in a nick to Watling.Boult, meanwhile, made optimum use of the crease through subtle change in angles from both over and around the wicket to trouble the batsman. All of this ensured the heat was well and truly on Pakistan despite them losing just one wicket in the session.That Pakistan were able to restrict the deficit was largely due to Sohail Khan and Rahat Ali, who picked up seven wickets between them a New Zealand, resuming on 104 for 3, were bowled out for 200. None of the batsmen except de Grandhomme looked anywhere near comfortable.Walking in after the overnight pair of Henry Nicholls and Jeet Raval, who top scored with 55, were dismissed inside four overs, de Grandhomme, who on Friday took the best figures by a New Zealander on debut, attacked. In hindsight, it wasnt a bad approach; the swagger and nonchalance in his strokes, briefly threw Pakistan off guard. His dismissal for 29 triggered a lower order collapse that gave Pakistan a fighting chance, but they couldnt capitalise against a troika of hostile and highly-skilled fast bowlers. ' ' '
