College Football is 33 days away and as fall camp starts on August third for the Cougars. Earlier this year I wrote an article for a schedule preview now this one is my prediction for the upcoming season. With BYU playing another Power 5 heavy schedule and their last as an independent this one could be one for the record books. 2022 Record: 10-2 South Florida I have us winning this game. The game is on the road in September and is the season opener. With transfers and some going to the NFL, the Bulls aren’t going to have much…

The Saints started camp this week and have practiced Wednesday, Thursday, and Today. Taysom Hill switched from Quarterback to Tight End this season.

In 2018 BYU football announced a series with NC State in 2024 in Raleigh and 2030 in Provo Utah. They had one scheduled for November and the other for August.
