How to watch BYU vs. Utah: Game time, TV schedule, live stream, and more

FOOTBALL IS BACK and one of the best games of the year comes early this season — A little rivalry some refer to as The Holy War (or The Deseret First Duel, or what have you)... BYU vs. Utah. It’s been a long time coming for this one. And BYU’s got some payback to get after giving up a 20-0 lead the last time the two teams played. And also payback coming for the whole 8-0 thing. UGH. Anyway.

BYU and Utah last saw each other on Nov. 24 in Salt Lake City where Utah won, 35-27. But let’s not relive that any of that anymore. It’s a new season and both teams look a little different (while actually returning some key starters, though, like the QBs for each team). Utah has had more hype surrounding it this year than in seasons past, with Lee Corso even picking them to play for the National Championship on College Gameday last week. (Needless to say, it would be awesome if BYU spoiled all that hype in game no. 1.)
