For the first time this season, the ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats will play a game under the sun.
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s road contest with No. 17 BYU in Provo next Saturday will kick off at 1 p.m. on Fox. It's the third game on Fox this season for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. Â
The Wildcats are 12-12-1 all-time against BYU dating back to 1936. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ and BYU have matched up as nonconference in recent years. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ kicked off the 2016 season against BYU in Glendale, then opened up the Kevin Sumlin era in 2018 with a loss in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ also started the Jedd Fisch era against BYU in Las Vegas, with the Cougars winning 24-16. Since ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ beat BYU in the 2008 Las Vegas Bowl, the Wildcats have lost three straight to the Cougars.Â
The last time ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ played in Provo was in 2007, which was a 20-7 loss for the Wildcats.Â
ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ (3-1) faces Texas Tech (4-1) for its Big 12 home opener at ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Stadium this Saturday at 8 p.m. on Fox.Â
