There are many reasons to be happy about a week 3 bye. Sure, it's a week off of football for your favorite team just as the ball gets rolling, but on the other hand, it means you'll be seeing plenty of uninterrupted football from that point out. For BYU football, the joy ride keeps rolling as the unbeaten 4-0 Cougars will host the Mountaineers of West Virginia on Friday night.
West Virginia is 0-2 in Big 12 play, and has taken a step back as a program under a new regime and total factory reset with Rich Rodriguez reprising his role as head coach.
