Could Utah host BYU a few days after Thanksgiving? It’s starting to look possible, Pac-12 willing

Could BYU and Utah end up playing each other in this pandemic-altered college football season after all?

Don’t laugh. It is still very much a long shot, but the possibility exists that the rivalry game — which was originally scheduled to be played Sept. 3 at Rice-Eccles Stadium before the Pac-12 said its teams would only play league games this year — could be played on Nov. 28.

Here’s how:

Utah is scheduled to travel to Tempe, Arizona, to take on the Arizona State Sun Devils on Nov. 28. That game, however, could be in jeopardy because of the high number of positive COVID-19 cases within ASU’s program right now, including coach Herm Edwards.
