BYU will be tested early in its 2019 football schedule, which the school announced Wednesday.
The Cougars' schedule next season features four straight Power 5 teams to start the year and three games against teams that finished the 2018 season in the top 25.
The Cougars open the season with a home matchup against in-state rival Utah on Aug. 29, followed by a road game at Tennessee on Sept. 7 in the first game between the two schools.
Up next is a pair of home games against Pac-12 schools, USC on Sept. 14 and Washington on Sept.
