BYU hoops had arguably the best JUCO prospect in the 2026 class on campus when KJ Perry was on campus September 11-12 for his official visit. He posted about his visit on Instagram. Below is what KJ told me about his BYU visit and recruitment. “Highlights of my visit were being able to watch practice and be on the same …

Against Stanford, the BYU defense stifled the Stanford offense. The Cougars never really allowed the Cardinal to be competitive. Stanford couldn’t get anything going until the fourth quarter when the game was out of reach. BYU has allowed just three points through the first two games of the season. In this article, we’ll see where the BYU defense stacks up …

Power conference pride is on the line Saturday night when the Big 12’s BYU plays host to the ACC’s Stanford at LaVell Edwards Stadium. For the Cougars, who are 1-2 all-time against the Cardinal, there’s also another important element to the Week 2 game — a possible edge in recruiting. That’s because BYU (1-0) and Stanford (0-1) aren’t major rivals …

Game location: LaVell Edwards Stadium, Provo, UT Game time/channel: 7:15pm PT/10:15pm ET (ESPN) Matchup History: Stanford, 2-1 It’s weird to think these two proud athletic programs in the western U.S. have only played three football games against one another. This will be just the second ever meeting in Provo and first since 2003. The Cardinal won that inaugural matchup 18-14. …

It’s the epitome of small sample theater — especially since it came against a bad FCS opponent — but the BYU Cougars football team is leading the country in several statistics following its 69-0 drubbing of the Portland State Vikings last Saturday in its 2025 season opener. What’s more, the Cougars are in the top five in the country in …

Scotty Edwards has been to LaVell Edwards Stadium more times than he can remember. But on Saturday night, he’ll get to play there for the first time. A Salt Lake City native, Edwards grew up a BYU fan, and now as a starting safety at Stanford he’ll take the same field he said he stormed in celebration on multiple occasions …

When Stanford visits BYU this Saturday, the Cardinal will face a young quarterback in Bear Bachmeier who they’re already quite familiar with. Bachmeier spent spring ball at Stanford earlier this year, playing under interim head coach Frank Reich before ultimately entering the transfer portal and landing in Provo. Though their time together was brief, Reich still had plenty of praise …

A case could be made that BYU and Stanford both had byes last weekend, as the Cardinal really was idle on Saturday, while the Cougars barely broke a sweat in demolishing Portland State 69-0 at LaVell Edwards Stadium. None of BYU’s first-teamers played in the second half, with the exception of a few on special teams. However, BYU coach Kalani …

BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier made his BYU debut on Saturday against Portland State. Bachmeier only played in the first half and he only attempted 11 passes, but he scored five touchdowns before sitting out the second half. Given the limited number of reps combined with the level of competition, it’s unwise to draw too many conclusions about Bachmeier based on …

It was somehow fitting that a special teams play, a blocked field goal that linebacker Jack Kelly returned for a touchdown, got BYU rolling Saturday night in its eventual 69-0 win over Portland State at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Special teams has been a strength for the Cougars the past few years, coinciding with the re-arrival of coach Kelly Poppinga, BYU’s …
