I can't help but look forward to the upcoming college football season - my favorite time of year!
I'm not sure where BYU will be in the pre-season ranking, but it really doesn't matter. But what DOES matter is BYU opening game against Big 12 powerhouse, Oklahoma! It's not very often that BYU gets to play at top #5 team - who knows, maybe Oklahoma will be ranked #1 to start the season. And the last time BYU played a #1 ranked team....BYU 28, Miami 21.
The BYU/Oklahoma football game is slated for September 5th in the new Dallas Cowboys Stadium and will be the featured game on ESPN that day. There will definitely be a little get-together at my house for all the local BYU faithful, so mark your calendars!
As for other BYU news, last week, the #1 rated high school quarterback, Jake Heaps, announced that he will be going to BYU. As for the last #1 rated high school quarterback to go to BYU, Ben Olsen eventually transferred from BYU to play at a more "recognized" program at UCLA. BYU beat UCLA 59-0 last year. Let's hope Jake Heaps has the wits to stay at BYU.
After Heaps signed with BYU, a few other top recruits joined suit and have commited to BYU, quite possibly making this the best recruiting class BYU has ever had. Now if we could only get by the University of Utah when it matters.
