Cougars coach Kalani Sitake says injured starting QB Jaren Hall ‘more than likely’ will not play in Saturday’s New Mexico Bowl, but declines to name who will start. The point spread opened with Bama as a -5.5 favorite but dropped as low as -3. So, apparently having the nation’s best defender and the 2021 Heisman winner on your team makes a field goal’s worth of improvement. The Crimson Tide started bowl practice last Friday and have no opt outs for guys prepping for the NFL Draft. He just never got over the hump on the two-deep like he was expected to. Ngata’s name is yet to officially enter the portal, but it was quietly reported Thursday, and he has removed ASU-related content from his social media.
Hoping to be able to move forward, BYU coaches had the tough decision to make of who would be the starting quarterback. Though many felt that highly touted recruit and true Freshman Jake Heaps would be lock for the job, Coach Bronco Mendenhall was unable to name Riley Nelson as a backup. This was until the decision was made for him, when Nelson opted for surgery that would take him out the remainder of the season. SMU quarterback Tanner Mordecai said no players on SMU’s football team are married, unlike BYU, which has about 30 married players. Rice was the only 5-7 team allowed in a bowl game because there were not enough teams with 6 wins to participate.
College Football Hall of Fame
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.
In 2019, several new combinations were introduced, including an all-white combination with royal accents, and a variation on the "away" combination with some styling changes to pay tribute to the uniforms of the 1960s. This last alternate uniform was accompanied by a throwback midfield logo and an endzone paint scheme that matched the field design used by BYU in the 1960s. A more modern design of the retro combination appeared in a game at the end of the season at San Diego State. Ultimately, the traditional design with the white helmet and former logo was re-introduced for the 2005 season. While the uniforms were also changed to be similar to the 1980s uniforms, the darker blue remained instead of the former royal blue, but all tan highlights were eliminated.

I had kind of written him off for this game, honestly, because he's had some nagging injuries that have lasted way longer than we thought we would. Some of the stadium's well-known features include a box-bowl seating configuration, a grass playing surface and a four-level press box. As of 2008, 146 BYU Cougars football players have gone on to play professional football. Team alumni have competed in 48 NFL Super Bowls, including Super Bowl MVP Steve Young and two-time Super Bowl winner Jim McMahon.
Cousin Sal and the Degenerate Trifecta try to make sense of the Thursday Night game as the Colts and Broncos as neither team scored a touchdown, a bet Sal gave out earlier in the day. Harry has a coughing attack and doesn’t know how to mute his microphone. Then they jump into Sunday’s Week 5 slate starting with the Giants and Packers in London, plus Chargers/Browns and Eagles/Cardinals.
BYU Cougars football
During the 2012 offseason, graduated defensive end Ziggy Ansah was drafted as the No. 5 overall pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, tied for the highest draft BYU alumnus with Jim McMahon '82. For the 2013 BYU football season, the Cougars were slated to compete against four pre-season-ranked teams. It was announced on Tuesday that Riley Nelson was injured during the Florida State game and will opt for surgery that will put him out for the rest of the season. The announcement was made official just a day after Coach Mendenhall announced that he still planned to utilize the two quarterback system.
Most recently, he served as the defensive coordinator for Missouri (2018–2020) and Illinois (2021–2022). Meanwhile, Mordecai – ranked 10th nationally in passing yards per game – is locked and loaded for what will be his final college football game. He announced before the Mustangs’ season-ending victory over Memphis that he will not use the COVID-related “super senior” season available to him and will enter the NFL Draft. On December 4, 2015, Mendenhall accepted the head coach position with Virginia in the Atlantic Coast Conference .

Carlson led Utah with 18 points and six rebounds on a night when Utah shot 41% from the field and 20% from 3-point range. Rollie Worster, who went 6-of-13 from the field and 0-of-5 from 3-point range, added 12 points, five assists and three rebounds; and Lazar Stefanovic added 12 points and seven rebounds in the loss. "So the rivalry game is awesome, but right now it's taking a backseat to us just trying to grow into a really good team. These guys took a good step tonight — so proud of them."
” of the Week goes to the dickhole politicians who are trying to pass their annual defense authorization bill with a provision that would block academy graduates from deferring their service and playing pro sports right away. The potential change in rules regarding academy athletes looms large for Army linebacker Andre Carter who is seen as a likely early-round pick in next year’s NFL draft. Oregon TE Cam McCormick has been granted a ninth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
Cooper, a Glendale-native, showed flashes of bright spots amid an ever-struggling front-seven in 2022. This past season, he was tied for the team lead in sacks with 2.5, a slight step-down from his 3.5 sacks last season. In three seasons as a Sun Devil, Ngata tallied 689 yards-rushing on 5.1 yards per-carry and six touchdowns. His freshman year in 2020 saw the emergence of transfers Rachaad White and Chip Trayanum, to which Ngata took the back seat in the rotation. This season, the running game was centered around Wyoming-transfer Xazavian Valladay. The Mustangs were supposed to have played Virginia in the Wasabi Fenway Bowl last December, but the game was canceled because of COVID infections in the Virginia program.

The ACC has an eight-game schedule, but also has a scheduling alliance with Notre Dame that has five ACC members playing the Fighting Irish each season. Additionally, three SEC teams had a total of five games scheduled with BYU from 2015 to 2020. In July 2015, the Big Ten announced that games against BYU would count toward the conference's "Power 5" scheduling requirement that takes effect in 2016. In late 2015, the Big XII Conference added a Power Five non-conference scheduling requirement and stated that BYU would not count toward filling that mandate. With the hiring of Kalani Sitake as head coach at the end of 2015, BYU has seen the gradual return of wearing royal blue combinations. They initially only made appearances in rivalry and other campus event games, but from 2017 onward, they have been worn more regularly.
"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.
