BYU head football coach Kalani Sitake talks with host Dave McCann during an interview on BYUtv during the Media Day in Provo on Tuesday, May 22, 2018.
PROVO — Especially now, in the wake of a 4-9 season, many observers say that BYU’s football schedules are too tough.
As an independent, the Cougars play a front-loaded schedule featuring plenty of road games against Power 5 conference opponents. BYU opens the season at Arizona and also has road games against Wisconsin and Washington in September.
In 2019, the Cougars open the season with a home game against Utah, followed by a contest at Tennessee and home games against USC and Washington.
