Heading into coach Mark Pope’s second season at the helm, BYU has a new-look, revamped roster after losing a ton of talent and experience.
Under ordinary circumstances, this would be a rebuilding season for the Cougars.
But because of proven returning players, an influx of newcomers expected to make an immediate impact, increased size and length, and an unusually deep roster, BYU is hoping to continue on the upward trajectory it set last season.
In 2019-20, the Cougars posted a 24-8 record, placed second in the West Coast Conference and finished No. 18 in the final Associated Press poll.
