BYU Men’s Volleyball starts their season on Thursday against a team that’s rapidly becoming one of their biggest rivals.
The No. 5 Cougars will host No. 7 Ohio State, in a match that will set the season’s tone for both teams.
The Cougars and Buckeyes faced off twice in a row in the National Championship game (2016 and 2017), with Ohio State winning both in dominating fashion.
And while it wasn’t for the title, BYU got revenge last season by travelling to Ohio and taking down the Buckeyes in straight sets.
The two powerhouse programs are consistently among the best teams in the country, and both qualified for the NCAA Tournament in 2018.
