Even though they've got one of the most difficult schedules in the Big 12 and mighty Notre Dame visits Provo in the middle of October with its sights set on a national championship run, hype for the BYU Cougars in 2026 is through the roof.
Why not?
BYU has gone 23-4 overall in the past two seasons, just missing out on College Football Playoff appearances in 2024 and 2025, and returns almost all of the key ingredients from the outfit that won 12 games last year, most notably quarterback Bear Bachmeier and running back LJ Martin.
"That's the challenge this year, not feeling like we've arrived or done anything special, because we haven't won a game yet. I think these guys also know that everything people say, good or bad, is nonsense, really. All that matters is what you do in the game."
