Brigham Young Cougars NCAA Football News

Brigham Young's Dennis Pitta #32 runs past Colorado State's Elijah-Blu Smith #22 during the first half of the game at Lavell Edwards stadium Saturday September 26, 2009.

You really couldn't ask for a greater contrast in the Utes and Cougars quarterbacks headed into Saturday's annual showdown in Provo.

BYU's newly crowned all-time leading rusher, Harvey Unga, is expected to be ready to go for Saturday's game against Utah.

The Mountain West Conference has reprimanded BYU defensive end Jan Jorgensen and assistant coach Barry Lamb for comments they made about Air Force.

For BYU, there's been trouble at home. Not too long ago, the Cougars were riding an 18-game home winning streak, and they seemed almost invincible at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

The Cougars had two touchdowns called back in their 38-21 win over the Air Force Academy on Saturday, including one in which officials called quarterback Max Hall for unsportsmanlike conduct as running back Harvey Unga was scoring from 2 yards out in the third quarter.

Max Hall completed 19 of his first 22 passes for three touchdowns on Air Force's nationally-ranked No.

I thought this sign was hilarious. On paper, this game looks like it will be a tough close game.

BYU better not be thinking about the Holy War this weekend, because Air Force has the talent to beat the Cougars at home.A The Falcons are playing their final regular season game this weekend, and they would like to end their season on a high note.A BYU has traditionally dominated Air Force.

GAME NOTES: Expecting to have a better showing this week than they did last weekend, the 19th-ranked BYU Cougars welcome the Air Force Falcons to Provo on Saturday afternoon for a Mountain West Conference showdown at LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Hall, with a chance to set a school record for victories by a quarterback, leads the 19th-ranked Cougars as they try to extend a five-game winning streak against the Falcons on Saturday.

Following Tuesday's practice, BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall said his team is practicing as well as it has been all season.

For New Mexico ... The Lobos are still looking for their first victory of the season.

Just because the New Mexico Lobos haven't won a game this year , doesn't mean the BYU football team is taking them lightly.

Winless New Mexico is giving No. 22 BYU all it wants at University Stadium this afternoon.

Two seasons ago in his first action as BYU's quarterback, Max Hall wasn't thinking about the school's legacy at the game's most glamorous position.

A punter's life can be compared to that of an umpire. When you don't notice them, they've done a good job.

Once again the team with the nation's second-longest losing streak tries to work its way into the win column this weekend as the New Mexico Lobos entertain the 22nd-ranked BYU Cougars in Mountain West Conference action in Albuquerque.

Max Hall is more concerned about helping BYU win games than he is about breaking a school record.
