BYU football's storied rivalry with its neighbors to the north, the Utah Utes, has been one of tradition, of pride. One of exceptional football, heated competition, heartbreak, and euphoria. Since the teams parted ways in 2011, abandoning the Mountain West Conference in search of greener pastures (or turf, in this case), these two teams had a bit of a moratorium from one another, calling a ceasefire from a rivalry that began in 1896, and staying off one another's schedule from 2013 to 2015, only battling each other in that final year thanks to a committee's determination the two deserved each other in the Las Vegas Bowl.
