It’s Homecoming week in Provo. Head coach Kalani Sitake has navigated the BYU football team to a 3-3 record through six weeks, and is coming off the biggest win of his head coaching career.
The Cougars have played five Power 5 opponents through their first six games, and have lost their three games by a combined seven points. But, things don’t get easier for the Cougars this week.
Now they play host to Mississippi State. The Bulldogs are 2-3 on the season, and are coming off a 38-14 shellacking at the hands of Auburn. The last time these two schools played was in 2001, when BYU won 41-38, but lost Luke Staley to an ankle injury.
