SALT LAKE CITY — BYU and Utah kick off the 90th edition of the rivalry Saturday at 1:30 p.m. PST in the Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, and KSL will have live coverage of the week in Sin City starting Tuesday.
How will the Cougars perform in this game while knowing that head coach Bronco Mendenhall and most of the coaching staff is headed to Virginia after the bowl? Will it be a distraction?
Coaches and players say no, and that the team remains focused on ending a four-game losing skid to their rivals from the north.
