No. 9 BYU is 7-0 against teams that are not Boise State.
That’s the state of this 2020 COVID-19 season in which the ninth-ranked Cougars had to ditch games against Utah, Michigan/Jim Harbaugh killer-Michigan State, Minnesota and Arizona State. It’s a schedule that doesn’t provide a chance for wins over Tennessee and USC like a year ago.
What it’s boiled down to is a chance to beat No. 21 Boise State a second straight time and the stakes have never been higher in this series. There could be a New Year’s Day bowl game on the line in Boise when the Cougars come calling in this shortened week.
