CougarCast: BYU Sports

It has been awhile! But when BYU is about to play their 3rd NCAA tournament game in their history, I've got to weigh in!

If BYU win, there will be incredible impact on the legacy and history of the BYU basketball program.

Go Cougars!

A pair of undefeated teams playing in December? BIG GAME! 

Let's take a look at the very good Chanticleers football team and the problems they present. 

PLUS, the last couple of weeks have exposed a problem BYU has with their Football program. Time to rant!

The #9 BYU Cougars travel to take on the #21 Boise State Broncos on Friday night. What will it take for BYU to get their first win ever in Boise?

It has been awhile since BYU Football has been this fun to watch. Zach Wilson's command and trust in Dax Milne is thrilling stuff. Will it continue against Texas State? Hard to think it won't.

The Cougars have opened the season perfectly. Can they keep it going against UTSA? I think they should! Also, Zach Wilson has played the best 3 consecutive games of football by a BYU QB since 2009 -- and the nation is paying attention. What could that mean?

BYU welcomes the LA Tech Bulldogs to LaVell Edwards Stadium. Cougars have looked great. Why? Also, what should we expect on Friday night?

In this episode of CougarCast:

• A break down of BYU Football's first released depth chart
• Can BYU's offense get out of the gates quickly? If they can, BYU's chances of winning increase immensely again Navy.
• Watching out for Navy Linebacker Diego Fagot. He's a beast.
• Is it terrifying that Ilaisa Tuiaki is freely admitting that he has never had to game plan for and defend a triple-option offense? YES!
• BYU's depth chart on defense had 14 positions listed, but you can only play 11 guys? What does all that mean for the Cougars D?
• How to tell if BYU defense is holding their own against the Navy Triple Option (other than just looking at rushing yards).
• Ken Niumatalolo's success at Navy is astonishing.
• Outside of FB Jamale Carothers, Navy's offensive personnel is unproven. 
• Is the game against Navy the challenge of the season for the Y?
• Keys to victory for the Cougars.

After the chaos of 2020, the BYU Cougars are indeed going to give playing football this season the old college try. After a mass overhaul of their schedule, what are some of the narratives surrounding the BYU Football program? How will those narratives be tested this season? Everything from the coaching staff, offense, defense, and even a little special teams are looked into with analysis about what Cougar fans should look and hope for this season.

Pandemics aren't great. Last week it was announced that the Big Ten and the Pac-12 would only be playing college football within their own conference. That means that BYU lost 5 of their 12 games on the schedule. Goodbye Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, and Stanford.

What does it mean for seeing Cougar football in 2020? Bad news friends.

The cancellation of these games brings about an interesting new chapter to COVID-19's impact on the college football season -- the legal battles. Can a team claim the Force Majeure clause if they play 9 conference games?
