BYU Football Schedule Prediction for 2024

BYU Football kicks off this Saturday against Southern Illinois. The Cougars take the field this season with a potential new quarterback behind center and many questions about who is starting on the offensive side of the ball. BYU finished fall camp this past week and is ready to take the field this weekend. The defense is ready for year two under Jay Hill and also with a bunch of returners will be the better side of the ball. BYU looks to have a better year two in the Big 12.
