When the news broke that the matchup between BYU and Army was postponed due to positive COVID tests, many wondered what the Cougars would do to replace the Black Knights on the schedule. Wonder no more as BYU announced they have agreed with Louisiana Tech to play this season on Friday, October 2. This isn’t necessarily a replacement for Army, as BYU said they will try to re-schedule that game.
The Bulldogs and Cougars have not yet matched up in their school’s history. This marks the third opponent from Conference USA for BYU this season, including Western Kentucky and UTSA.
