BYU won the 1984 national championship, the high point of a run in which the Cougars claimed a conference title in every season but one from 1974 to 1985. That era was built under coach LaVell Edwards, whose name is now on the team's home in Provo, Utah. LaVell Edwards Stadium opened in 1964 and seats 62,073. BYU now competes in the Big 12 Conference, and its historic rivalries are the Holy War with Utah and the Battle for the Old Wagon Wheel with Utah State. All of this season's games appear below, and times and channels are updated as they become available.
