BYU Football: Game time and TV set for Washington matchup
By Shaun Gordon
BYU Football’s matchup with No. 10 Washington on September 29th has a kickoff time and TV channel. The Cougars get another primetime network showdown.
The game time and TV has been set for BYU Football’s matchup at Washington on Saturday, September 29th.
With BYU’s upset over Wisconsin on Saturday, both teams are currently in the AP Top 25. Washington sits at No. 10 in the poll, while the Cougars jumped into the rankings at No. 25.
As a result, the game has been given a primetime spot. The game will kick off at 6:30pm MT, and it will be televised on FOX.
It’ll likely be the second time in three weeks that the Cougars take on a Top 10 foe on network television. BYU’s win over Wisconsin aired on ABC.
If Washington beats Arizona State this weekend and BYU handles their business at home against McNeese State, there’s a strong likelihood that both teams will still be ranked. If so, it will be one of only three games featuring two Top 25 teams, with No. 4 Ohio State at No. 10 Penn State and No. 7 Stanford at No. 8 Notre Dame the others.
While it would be fun to have College Gameday in Seattle for the game, it’ll almost certainly head to University Park for the Buckeye/Nittany Lion showdown.
The Cougars can’t get ahead of themselves, though. Before they head to Washington they have to take care of business this Saturday against McNeese State. The Cowboys are 3-0 on the season, and they’re ranked No. 15 in the FCS Coaches Poll. That home matchup will kick off at 4:00pm MT on BYUtv.
Even with the schedule announced for Washington there are still five games left on BYU’s schedule that don’t have a kickoff time and TV channel yet – Hawaii, Northern Illinois, Boise State, New Mexico State, and Utah.
