He was tabbed as a four-star recruit by the 247Sports Composite ranking, and went to BYU over offers from Alabama, ASU, Ole Miss and more. Batty, BYU’s sophomore defensive end – no, he won’t be playing quarterback – said it’s very much both. Saturday’s game will be played in conditions – near-mile-high elevation and temperatures in the 30s – that would seem to favor the Cougars of Provo, Utah, in a matchup with the Mustangs of the Dallas Metroplex.
"He's been a great person to have in this time of transition. It's been awesome being able to train with him." "But as for the linebackers we have, I'm confident in our guys. I still think we have a lot of depth." "Fous started out the game terrific," BYU head coach Mark Pope said.

In 1984, BYU reached the pinnacle of college football when it was recognized as college football national champions, being the only unbeaten, untied team in the nation. The undefeated Cougars (12–0–0) opened the season with a 20–14 victory over Pitt (3-7-1), ranked No. 3 in the nation at the time and finished the season with a victory over the Michigan Wolverines (6–5–0). The victory over Michigan, 24–17 in the Holiday Bowl, marked the only time a national champion played in a bowl game before New Year's Day, and the last time a national championship was determined by a team from a non-power 5 conference.
So, before you go squawking about Frank Beamer, 42 of his wins came at Murray State. Mack Brown had six victories in one season with Appalachian State when they were still in what was known at I-AA . Brian Kelly won 118 games with something called Grand Valley State. Henderson’s exit is by-far the most consequential portal entry for ASU so far. In 32 games at ASU, he established himself as the offensive line’s strongest draft prospect, even with teammates such as Cohl Cabral, Kellen Diesch, Dohnovan West and more. Scott was a three-year starter for the Sun Devils, playing every game each of the last three seasons up until an injury that kept him on the sidelines against Oregon State.

If Kalani Sitake could scramble physically as well as he scrambled verbally on Friday – and if he had any playing eligibility left – his BYU Cougars’ quarterback conundrum would be solved. The last game of the 2022 season for BYU Football will be against the SMU Mustangs in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday night. An international board that evaluates and ranks top video game design schools around the world.
Army (5-6) - The Black Knights are contemplating changing their Facebook status from “single” to “married”. Army has been an independent since 2005 but are coming to terms with the reality of college football in the 2020s. Media rights deals have exploded into billions of dollars and they are missing out. Anthonie Cooper leaving for the transfer portal was a little more surprising.
BYU research: Housing market prices, purchasing decisions being driven by unseen forces
Missouri football edge rushers Arden Walker and Johnny Walker Jr. should play expanded roles against Wake Forest in the Gasparilla Bowl. The Tigers will need playmakers to emerge at receiver, defensive end, safety to replace departed starters for the Dec. 23 Gasparilla Bowl against Wake Forest. This is the first meeting between the Lindenwood and BYU men's basketball programs. Below is a count of career FBS/Division I-A win totals for coaches.
Coming to Tempe as a four-star recruit, expectations were high for Moore, who slowly improved as a Sun Devil, but he never seemed to reach his true potential. Johnson simply never seemed to crack the two-deep on the depth chart, and only saw a few snaps per game in the receiver rotation. Czaplcki’s exit sits right near LaDarius Henderson’s at the top of the list for most impactful.
One slight change in the uniform came in the 2007 season, when a small traditional 'Y' logo was added to the bottom of the collar. BYU spent more than a week courting Navy Midshipmen football head coach Ken Niumatalolo to take over the Cougars program. After several days, which included a visit to Provo and public remarks about considering the job, Niumatalolo ultimately declined BYU's offer in order to remain with Navy.
Fellow analyst Jan Jorgensen has also taken over as something of an interim defensive line coach, including edge rushers like Batty, with Sitake continuing to call the plays on defense. "If there's a chance that he can play, he wants to. Knowing his competitiveness, he wants to get on the field and play," Sitake said. "But it's our responsibility to keep him safe, knowing that he has potential to play at the next level, and that he does it the right way." BYU Cougars quarterback Jaren Hall passes during the game against the Utah Tech Trailblazers at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo on Saturday, Nov. 19, 2022. "It's definitely not the outcome we wanted it to have, and we're gonna let this sink in for the night — this loss — and we're just gonna continue to get better the next days."
Coupled with the 11 consecutive wins to close out the 1983 season, BYU concluded the 1984 championship on a 24-game winning streak. At the end of the season, BYU was voted National Champion after being number one in all four NCAA sanctioned polls AP, Coaches, NFF, and FWAA. In 1972, assistant coach LaVell Edwards was promoted to head coach, succeeding Hudspeth. Edwards and his staff installed a drop-back passing game considered to be an early implementation of the West Coast offense, resulting in Cougar Pete Van Valkenburg as the nation's leading rusher for that year. The following year, the Cougars struggled to a 5–6 finish, but this would be Edwards' only losing season during his run as BYU coach over the next three decades. In fact, the Cougars won the conference championship every year except one from 1974 to 1985, including the national championship in 1984.
Their first post-season win came in the 1980 Holiday Bowl, which has become known as the "Miracle Bowl" since BYU was trailing SMU 45–25 with four minutes left in the game and then came back to win. BYU would win its 1981, 1983, and 1984 bowl games as well; and it earned the nickname "Quarterback U" for consistently producing All-American quarterbacks, which included Gifford Nielsen, Marc Wilson, Jim McMahon and Steve Young. During this period, Young finished second for the Heisman Trophy in 1983 and McMahon finished third for the trophy in 1981.
Watch eventual Heisman winner Ty Detmer lead the Cougars against defending national champion. Missed opportunities plagued BYU (1-2) as the Cougars dropped a decision in double overtime. LaVell Edwards Stadium, with its 63,470-seat capacity, video scoreboards and immaculate press boxes, is home to legendary BYU football.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 243-pound pass-rusher from Dallas is yet to record his first collegiate sack. Of the BYU quarterback situation, Lashlee said, his team’s defensive preparation won’t change much – and can’t, at this point – depending on whether or not Hall can play. "We're looking in a different direction than we've tried to do with our players, and looking at our sports science program and the athletic training room," the coach said. "We're trying to bridge all of that … to keep our players healthy." "Jan's a great coach, and he played here, too," Batty said of the Cougars' single-season sack leader since 2000.
