BYU plays football this week. Yes, this week. Lock your doors and windows. Call in sick. Shut yourself out from the outside world and embrace hyper isolationism. Light up the television, because BYU football will take the field for the first time since December.
So, we're all going to be watching, of course.
A million unanswered questions from the offseason persist. How will Bear Bachmeier do as the starting quarterback? Will Jay Hill's defense be as dominant as they were last season? Is BYU going to compete for the Big 12 championship once again? Or is this team doomed to confirm that last season was little more than a string of lucky performances capped off with a dominant win over Colorado?
None of those can be answered until we've seen tangible evidence on the football field. Fortunately, we don't have to wait long, because Saturday, August 30th, marks the kickoff of the season against Portland State. Warm up LaVell Edwards Stadium. Nestle into your seat (stadium, recliner, or otherwise) and get pumped for the fall air to roll in and announce the ushering in of a new football calendar.
With the Wasatch Mountain Range keeping watch over the stadium, and the roar of the crowd echoing through the valley, there are almost no experiences that can spark as much passion, emotion, and energy as 11-on-11 at the gridiron.
What a beautiful world we live in.
So, you want to watch? Do you really? That's fantastic. Here's everything you need to know about BYU's upcoming matchup with the FCS Portland State Vikings.
