Home field advantage
BYU’s LaVell Edwards Stadium has the seventh-highest elevation of any stadium in the Football Bowl Subdivision at 4,649 feet above sea level.
How much difference that makes is up for interpretation.
Arkansas linebacker Bumper Pool has played at altitude before, as a freshman when the Razorbacks lost 34-27 at Colorado State in 2018. The Rams’ Canvas Stadium is located at an elevation of 5,003 feet.
Pool said he does not remember altitude having an effect on the Razorbacks that night.
“I really felt pretty good the whole game. I don’t remember anyone kind of saying, ‘Oh, I can’t breathe,’ or anything like that.
