The No. 10 BYU Cougars return to LaVell Edwards Stadium this Saturday to face Baylor in a pivotal matchup for both programs.
BYU enters the contest with a 7-2 record following a difficult loss to Utah, as detailed by Yahoo Sports.
Despite the recent setback, the Cougars remain in contention for the College Football Playoff.
BYU head coach Kalani Sitake emphasized the need to move forward, stating “We can’t let the Utah loss linger into (this) week, but what we can do is use it as motivation to get better.”
The Cougars currently score 31.0 points per game but face a Baylor team that has found new life under interim coach Joe Klanderman.
The Bears have secured two consecutive victories since a coaching change, keeping their Big 12 title aspirations alive according to Yahoo Sports.
Baylor enters the game with a 6-3 record, averaging 31.9 points while holding opponents to just 17.0 points per contest.
Klanderman noted the intensity of the matchup, warning his squad that “Our margin for error is razor-thin.”
He added that the team cannot afford mental lapses against a top-10 opponent, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
The series between the two schools currently favors BYU with a 3-2 record.
Kickoff is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. MST at the 62,073-seat stadium in Provo.
Fans can watch the broadcast on Fox or access the livestream via the official network website.
Radio coverage is available through KSL 1160 AM, 102.7 FM, and BYU Radio on Sirius XM channel 166.
Following this weekend, BYU is set to travel to Kansas on Nov. 21, while Baylor returns home to face Texas Tech.
The outcome of this Saturday’s game will be a significant indicator of BYU’s ability to remain a serious contender in the national playoff picture.
