BYU reportedly heading to Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl

Brigham Young Cougars wide receiver Mitch Mathews (10) and Brigham Young Cougars quarterback Tanner Mangum (12) celebrate a touchdown in Logan Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015. BYU won 51-28.

On Tuesday, the BYU ticket website inadvertently posted an option for fans to purchase tickets for the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, one of two bowl games the Cougars could play in this season.

This was a mistake that was soon corrected, but perhaps it wasn’t such a mishap after all.

On Wednesday afternoon, ESPN college football reporter Brett McMurphy reported on his official Twitter account that the Cougars are, in fact, headed to Las Vegas for the Las Vegas Bowl, with their opponent still unknown.
