The second game of the series will be played at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City on Nov. 24, 2018. The Cougars finished the 2016–17 season 22–12, 12–6 in WCC play to finish in third place. They defeated Loyola Marymount in the quarterfinals of the WCC tournament to advance to the semifinals where they lost to Saint Mary's. They received an invitation to the National Invitation Tournament where they lost in the first round to Texas–Arlington. Use the filters below to view detailed stat splits for both teams.
The Cougars need to win two of their final three games, including road trips to Boise State and Stanford, to even be eligible. The Pirates stormed into Provo with a two-game winning streak and stretched it to three with Andrew Conrad's walk-off 33-yard field goal to extend BYU's misery to four consecutive losses with a loss Friday night at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The BYU football team lost to the UMass Minutemen Saturday in the last game at LaVell Edwards Stadium this season. "I didn't think it was bad," wide receiver Puka Nacua said of an offense that gained 388 yards and a defense that gave up 424. The skid marks just the 12th time since 1922 that BYU has gone winless in the month of October, and just the third time since 1974. In every other way, the Cougars were out-played, out-matched and out-coached on their home turf by an East Carolina team seeking its second win over a Big 12 invitee in as many games.
Win Probability
BYU had 13 regular season games scheduled in the season, due to their finale game at Hawaii, which NCAA rules allow them to schedule one extra home game. SMU hasn’t won a bowl since taking down Fresno State in the 2021 Hawaii. Rankings from AP pollThe 2017–18 BYU Cougars men's basketball team represented Brigham Young University in the 2017–18 NCAA Division I men's basketball season. It was head coach Dave Rose's 13th season at BYU and the Cougars seventh season as members of the West Coast Conference. The Cougars played their home games at the Marriott Center in Provo, Utah. They finished the season 24–11, 11–7 in West Coast Conference play to finish in third place.
South Carolina and women's basketball coach Dawn Staley have canceled a home-and-home series with BYU over a recent racial incident where a Cougars fan yelled slurs at a Duke volleyball player. It’s the last game for BYU before being off to the Big 12 next season,and SMU would love to show the conference what it’s missing. As is, the matchup has the potential to be fun offensive show depending on the parts still around – more on that in a moment – and worth the watch if and when the Miami-Buffalo game gets dull. With the win, BYU improves to this season and will take on crosstown rival UVU this Friday at 7 p.m. "When I first got here, we experienced similar adversity, and it kind of came full circle," said running back Lopini Katoa, who redshirted the 2017 campaign and was named offensive developmental player of the year on the scout team. "The potential of this team is huge, and it's a weird feeling, but there are a lot of guys who were here when we were in a slump.
Taylor adds on to lead for Wisconsin
The Cougars held on to defeat Kansas 3-2 on Monday for the team’s second win of the season. "If anything, this has just brought us closer as a team," said Batty, who had two tackles and a tackle for loss Friday. "We've got a good group of dudes, and there's not a single quitter in our locker room." "Struggles and adversity are a tough thing, but I'm proud of our players and how hard they played. We were unable to get the win, but I love these guys and I love their attitudes. BYU apologized for the incident and Richardson said the school's volleyball players reached out to her in support. The defense hasn’t been bad, but the team is 1-5 when allowing 27 points or more and 6-0 when it doesn’t.
The BYU Cougars and the Utah Utes have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2017 and 2018, the two schools announced this afternoon. The Cougars will travel to Hawaii for their final game of the season on Saturday, Nov. 25. Coming into the game, the plan was for BYU to use the passing to take advantage of heavy pressure coming from the UMass defense, according to head coach Kalani Sitake. The Cougars’ had gone down early several times in previous matches, motivating coach Rockwood to write, “Just focus on the first 45 minutes” on the whiteboard in the team’s pregame meeting.

As the No. 3 seed in the WCC tournament, they defeated San Diego in the quarterfinals and Saint Mary's in the semifinals before losing to Gonzaga in the championship game. They received an at-large bid to the National Invitation Tournament where they were defeated by Stanford in the first round. Neither of them were available to save BYU's season Friday night, nor were Dax Milne, Khyiris Tonga or any other former player that has made a living playing on Sunday since then. Chargers defensive back Michael Davis and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid all took in the home game, but both could only watch as the bad run of form continued at their alma mater. BYU was a relative clunker in last year’s Independence Bowl loss to UAB.It lost two of its last three bowl games and five of its last eight, but head coach Kalani Sitake is 3-2 in the post-season in his six seasons. Barring an upset, BYU (4-5) will not be headed to a bowl game for the first time since that 2017 season.
There’s a big problem with that – you have to beat BYU on the ground. SMU might have a big-time offense that scores in bunches and takes teams out of their gameplans, but BYU should be able to get that big offensive line going right away and get physical. The New Mexico Bowl has normally been a home for a Mountain West team,but BYU ended up being the fit. The Mountain West won the last four and seven of the last nine, and none of games were particularly amazing. Last year’s Fresno State win over UTEP was okay, but there hasn’t been a ton of scoring since Colorado State’s win over Washington State in 2013. Utah now has two non-conference games set for 2017 and one for 2018.
Utah State
The Utes are slated to open the 2017 season at home against North Dakota. The completion of this series gives the BYU Cougars seven scheduled games in 2017 and five in 2018. In 2017, BYU is set to host Wisconsin, Utah, California, Boise State and San Jose State and travel to Fresno State and East Carolina.
11 Notre Dame–10–3UMass–4–8BYU–4–9Rankings from AP PollThe 2017 BYU Cougars football team represented Brigham Young University in the 2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Cougars were led by second-year head coach Kalani Sitake and played their home games at LaVell Edwards Stadium. This was the seventh year BYU competed as an NCAA Division I FBS independent.
BYU's roster will feature four missionaries for the new season. First up is Zac Seljaas who returns after coming home early for a shoulder injury. This brought the game within one touchdown for the Cougars, but a failed onside kick attempt sealed their fate. Unfortunately, they were not able to execute the gameplan or withstand the pressure on the line, with Critchlow getting sacked seven times.
Morocco coach Walid Regragui stands on the brink of history as he looks to lead an African team into its first World Cup final. SMU seems like it gets 220 passing yards on the first drive – the loss to Cincinnati was the only time it didn’t get there. Yeah, SMU wins when it runs well, but it wants to throw and throw some more. BYU was able to hold up in wins over Stanford and Utah Tech – allowing over 300 passing yards in each game – but it’s 2-4 when allowing 220 yards or more.
