Watch BYU vs. Utah game today: Channel, Time, Streaming

by Junna Base November 10, 2024

It’s a college football rivalry so intense that the annual matchups are described not as “games” but as “wars.”

The latest edition of the “Holy War” between in-state foes BYU and Utah begins this weekend, with the teams meeting for the first time as members of the Big 12.

The contest will pit a top-ranked team with College Football Playoff aspirations against a mediocre squad likely hoping only for bowl eligibility — but the roles are reversed from what many expected coming into the season.

BYU was ranked 13th out of 16 teams in the Big 12 preseason poll, is undefeated and is ranked No. 9 in the USA LBM Coaches Poll. If the season ended today, it would be among the 12 teams in the playoff field after finishing No. 9 in the initial CFP rankings. (Based on bracket seeding, the Cougars would be seeded No. 4 overall with a first-round bye.)

Utah, meanwhile, is 4-4 overall and 1-4 in conference play after being picked to win the Big 12 in its first season in the league and entering the season ranked No. 13 in the coaches’ poll. The Utes suffered a number of setbacks, including a season-ending injury to star quarterback Cameron Rising.

Here’s how to watch BYU vs. Utah today, including time, TV schedule and streaming information:

Bill Bender, The Sporting News: BYU 23, Utah 20

“Utah is in spoiler mode and has won the last five home games of the series, a streak that dates back to 2006. The Utes have a minus-5 turnover percentage in Big 12 play and BYU has taken advantage of opponents. Mistakes all season long. Utah has averaged just 12.5 points per game over the last four weeks. Both teams have had a week to prepare and it will be worth the night’s drama. BYU breaks its road losing streak and is 7-1 ATS this season. We think it comes down to a walk-off field goal.”

Jay Drew, The Deseret News: BYU 21, Utah 20

“I’m picking BYU to win because this season was so magical for the Cougars. They have found ways to win, whether on offense (OSU) or defense (SMU, Baylor, Kansas State). Plus, BYU has a better quarterback. That goes a long way in rivalry games. Just look at 2021, when Jaren Hall-led BYU beat the Utes in Provo before Utah somehow figured out that Cam Rising was better than Charlie Brewer. For BYU, the Cougars must withstand the early emotional onslaught the crowd will unleash on the Utes and not give up and give a short field — and some early confidence — to whoever is Utah’s QB. BYU is the better team here – but turnovers can mean the equalizer. BYU learned this many times in Salt Lake City.”
