Happy Tuesday, everyone. News out of Utah says that Alabama does in fact have some sort of agreement in place with the Cougars.
Speculation continues to swirl that BYU’s first opponent will be Alabama, perhaps on Sept. 5 in Tuscaloosa. A source close to the Alabama program told the Deseret News on Friday that if the Southeastern Conference decides it is going to play a full slate of games, or even a conference-games-plus-one model, the BYU-Alabama game is a go.
If there is an actual commitment from Alabama to play given SEC permission, that is certainly newsworthy.
