BYU Cougars Set to Face Arizona Wildcats in Week 2 College Football Matchup

The No. 15 BYU Cougars are scheduled to play against the Arizona Wildcats on Saturday in a Week 2 college football game broadcasted on FOX.

This matchup marks the 28th meeting between the two teams, a rivalry that began in 1936. Last season, BYU narrowly defeated Arizona 33-27 in double overtime.

BYU returns 13 starters this season, including standout players like quarterback Bear Bachmeier and running back LJ Martin. Meanwhile, Arizona's fifth-year senior quarterback Noah Fifita, who has struggled against BYU in previous encounters, aims to lead his team to victory after suffering losses in their last two matchups. Despite a setback with backup running back Sione Moa out for the season, BYU remains focused on a strong start in Big 12 play.
