College Football Playoff expansion is happening, and it's great for the Big 12
BYU football has never reached the College Football Playoff. Not during the four-team era, when the Cougars were still an independent (or their first season as a member of the Big 12), and not during the 12 team era. Whether you believe they were snubbed,
My formula makes a surprising prediction for the BYU vs. Notre Dame game
This week marks a new era for the Higinbotham formula. And no, it's not because I'm tired of it saying that we're going to lose to Utah twice. It's because ever
Memoirs: BYU is competing for so much more than their Notre Dame adversary
I'm sure you've heard by now, but in case you haven't, the second-ranked team in the AP Top 25, the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, are coming to LaVell Edwards Stadium this weekend for a dance with the eighth-ranked BYU Cougars. People are calling it the bigg
BYU Players in the NFL Week 5: Puka Nacua shows once again why he's the most productive receiver in NFL history
There are 18 former BYU Cougars in the NFL. Here's how each of them performed in Week 5, including Fred Warner, Puka Nacua, and Tyler Allgeier.
Cougars have their sights set on one of their toughest challenges in program history, the Fighting Irish
One of the most highly anticipated games in college football is close upon us. By far, it will be the most important game of the season that will determine both No. 2 Notre Dame and No. 8 BYU football’s true colors. The destiny of the Cougars’ CFP aspira
The talent gap between No. 8 BYU and No. 2 Notre Dame is shockingly wide, at least on paper
No. 8 BYU hosts No. 2 Notre Dame in a massive Top 10 showdown. On paper, Notre Dame has a massive talent advantage over the Cougars. When the game kicks off, how much of that will matter?
Too Optimistic Tuesday: BYU-Notre Dame is the most significant game in program history
While the most important win for BYU's legacy was the 1984 national championship, the most significant game for its future is Saturday against Notre Dame.
Injured running back may return for BYU football this week against Notre Dame
When news broke that BYU football would have to face 2nd-ranked Notre Dame without star running back and reigning Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year LJ Martin, the chances of the Cougars' upset bid shrank substantially.
How to watch BYU vs Notre Dame: start time, channel, everything you need
It's the big one. The first top-10 matchup in LaVell Edwards Stadium history. The game upon which College Football Playoff hopes could be made... or destroyed. BYU football hosts Notre Dame this Saturday, and I cannot overstate the importance of this matc
Latest AP Top 25 rankings prove the Big 12 is disrupting the pro-SEC agenda
Another week, another edition of the AP Poll. And BYU football is standing firm at 8 despite some severe shakeup, with the number 1, 6, and 10 ranked teams from last week's top 25 losing. What a strange feeling to see the stretch-Y as a staple in the top-
BYU's Post Game Offense Report: BYU's passing attack leads way in win over ISU
BYU’s offense had the tall task of adapting their offense to playing without star running back LJ Martin. Coming into this game, the Cougars had averaged 235.5 rushing yards per game and 179.7 passing yards per game, averaging a total of 415.2 yards of to
BYU’s Postgame Defense Report: Cougars crush the Cyclones' offense
BYU’s defense shut down an offense that was fresh off a red-hot performance
Will BYU's decision to not add a proven running back in the transfer portal cost the Cougars a spot in the CFP?
BYU entered 2026 with injury-prone running backs LJ Martin and Sione Moa followed by a trio of unproven guys. The decision to not add a running back in the transfer portal could cost the Cougs a shot at the CFP.
BYU and Kalani Sitake: I'm begging you to kick the field goal
BYU football handled business at home against Iowa State, winning with a final score of 24-10 and advancing to 5-0 -- unblemished as they approach a top-10 matchup with Notre Dame next Saturday. I do not purport to be a football coach. I can't call plays.
3 positives and 3 paralyzing negatives from BYU's win over Iowa State
Following up on an arduous win over TCU, BYU football approached this game against Iowa State with a lot to prove on the offensive side of the ball. And they didn't exactly silence the naysayers with a 24-point output against a 3-3 ISU side.
It's a pattern: 5-star prospect AJ Williams sets official visit to BYU basketball
It's wild to remember that BYU basketball had never signed a 5-star-rated freshman recruit in their program's history prior to the Kevin Young signing. Since Young stepped down from his position as the highest-paid assistant in the NBA to oversee BYU hoop
Why every BYU fan and Big 12 supporter should be in favor of a 24-team College Football Playoff
BYU and the Big 12 are frozen out of the 12-team CFP and fans should shout for a 24-team CFP model.
Prediction: No. 8 BYU's fate hangs in Aaron Roderick's hands against Iowa State
After losing running back LJ Martin, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick will need to adapt No. 8 BYU's offense against Iowa State. Can he do it, and can the Cougs move to 5-0 on the season?
LJ Martin will not play vs. Notre Dame, to miss a month with injury
There are only four events in which it is acceptable for a man to cry: weddings, funerals, a trip to the Grand Canyon, and when news breaks that BYU senior running back LJ Martin will be out for a month while recovering from a lower-body injury. Take your
Egor Demin is priming a second-year leap with the Brooklyn Nets
High above the three-point arc, Brooklyn Nets sophomore and BYU basketball alum Egor Demin catches a chest-high pass from the block. Left foot, right foot planted, he loads his shooting hand beneath the basketball and directs his eyes to the rim. Before h
My formula predicts the rest of BYU's games and other games in week 6
BYU just got their first win in Fort Worth in 15 years (or 20 if you don't count their win over Tulsa in the 2011 Armed Forces Bowl). And yet, a lot of fans are reacting as if BYU needed a clock error and a hail mary to beat a MAC team. But I think this w
Which BYU running back needs to step up in LJ Martin's absence vs. Iowa State?
From the mouth of BYU football's offensive coordinator, Aaron Roderick, star running back LJ Martin will most likely not appear in the Cougars' Friday night clash with the Iowa State Cyclones. Martin's health is a major point of concern for the Cougars th
BYU football storm-chases with a dangerous Iowa State team rolling into Provo
The BYU Cougars are ranked 8th in the land with a perfect 4-0 record. It's the strongest position a BYU football team has been in for as long as I can remember. A member of a Power Four conference, coming off a runner-up season in the Big 12, and bringing
Too Optimistic Tuesday: BYU is a playoff contender with an elite defense and Bear Bachmeier's "clutchness"
It's time for Too Optimistic Tuesday about BYU football. The No. 10 Cougars gutted out a tough win at TCU to move to 4-0 despite bad conditions and multiple injuries thanks to an elite defense and clutch QB in Bear Bachmeier.
BYU football may have to face Iowa State without two very important pieces
It's still unclear why BYU struggled so much against TCU this past weekend, but we may be in for another painful evening against Iowa State if injuries to All-American candidates LJ Martin and Isaiah Glasker played a part. Perhaps the stormy weather playe
