Robbie Bosco knows all too well what it feels like to be Kevin Feterik - to live every second of every Saturday in a pressure cooker. That's because Bosco, a former Brigham Young quarterback who led the Cougars to the national championship in 1984, was in Feterik's position, right under center, 11 years before Feterik arrived in Provo, Utah. So that may explain why, instead of advertising his protégé like a garage sale, Bosco, who now coaches the BYU signal callers, pulled his prodigy aside for a stern dose of reality.
