The Film Room: Utes & Cougs

Two teams, both with one blemish in Big 12 play, seek to prove to the College Football Playoff Committee (and to the entire country) that they belong in the race to determine the country's best football team. In a week 11 rematch, BYU and Texas Tech face off in Jerrryworld, TX to determine who will inherit the automatic CFP bid, and who will go home.

The Cougars find themselves preparing for the biggest game that BYU Football has had in over 40 years. This weekend's game features the first top 10 match up for the Cougs Football Program as they face off against Texas Tech in a battle to take the lead in the race to the 2025-26 College Football Playoff.

Utah faces their second ranked Big 12 opponent of the season in #21 ASU and attempt to achieve what they never thought would take them this long: their first Big 12 Conference win at Rice Eccles Stadium.

The Utes and the Red Raiders both face their first actual test of the season in a top 20 match up in Salt Lake City this coming Saturday.

Will the Utes defense be enough to stop one of the highest rated transfer portal...

The Cougars opened up a can last week against Portland State, and hope to do the same this week, but this time against an FBS opponent, the formerly formidable Stanford Cardinal.

Coming off of a week 1 route of UCLA, the now #25th ranked Utes look to dominate at home against the Cal Poly Mustangs and start the year 2-0.

The Cougars begin the 2025 season chasing a feeling from their 11-2 campaign from last year. They kick off against the FCS league Portland State Vikings in Provo this coming Saturday as true freshman #47 Bear Bachmeier makes history for the Cougs.

The duel of two transfer quarterbacks: Devin Dampier for the Utes is elite on his feet, and former Tennessee quarterback Nico Iamaleava is a tried and true pocket passer. Which defense will be able to lock down their opponent's new signal caller and simultaneously crush that fan base's hopes at a fresh start?
