As you're no doubt aware, the BYU-Utah rivalry is renewed on Saturday when the Utes host the Cougars in Salt Lake City (5:30 p.m., Fox/Ch. 13).
(Don't be confused. It's on the Fox broadcast network. In Utah, that's KSTU-Ch. 13.)
There will be not one, not two, but three pregame shows. The local Fox affiliate, Ch. 13, will air an hourlong show at 4 p.m. That will lead into a half-hour national pregame show on Fox (including Ch. 13) at 5 p.m.
And BYUtv will, as usual, air an hourlong pregame at 4:30 p.m., BYUtv will also air a postgame show when the game is over … whenever that is.
Also on Saturday, Utah State visits Southern California (noon, Pac-12 Network).
And the Weber State-at-South Dakota game will be streamed online on ESPN3 at 1 p.m.
