BYU football schedule: Cougars vs. LSU to air on ESPN in primetime for Texas Kickoff

BYU’s second game of the season now has a time and network.

BYU’s Sept. 2 matchup against LSU in the Texas Kickoff will kick at 7:30 p.m. MST and air on ESPN, the school announced today.

The game, hosted at Houston’s NRG Stadium, will be the nightcap of college football’s first full Saturday, coming after national TV matchups between Florida-Michigan and Alabama-Florida State.

The Cougars are 2-1 against SEC teams since going independent in 2011, and will play at Mississippi State later in the year.

It’s the sixth of BYU’s 13 games in 2017 to get TV assignments so far.
