BYU football may have to face Iowa State without two very important pieces

How to watch BYU vs Iowa State: start time, channel, everything you need
BYU football is 4-0 through Week 5, and is currently ranked 8th in the country, depending on whether you observe the AP Top 25 (they're becoming less popular by the day, aren't they?). It doesn't feel real to see a BYU football team get the benefit of the
Game Notes vs TCU: rain-blotted pages from an ugly Week 5 win in Fort Worth
No, we didn't have an especially fun time watching the Cougars snap their losing skid in Fort Worth, but a win is a win, and BYU football has opened the season with a 4-0 record for the third straight season. When you're positioning for a spot in the 12-t
Recap: BYU football grinds a 17-10 win over TCU on a drizzly and gloomy evening
When the season is all said and done, this could be the worst the offense will look all season. The fact that this was still a victory means No. 10 BYU football can take care of business in more ways than explosive plays. Similar to the weather all game i
Another slow start turned BYU vs TCU into an agonizing battle of attrition
I did not have fun watching BYU win their first Lone Star-set game against TCU since 2007. Yes, it feels incredibly relieving to see the 17-10 final score favor the Cougars following the bye week. It feels twice as comforting to know that BYU can win in F
BYU football may need a perfect season to reach the College Football Playoff

The one reason why BYU football will win or lose against TCU this weekend

How the Big 12 can get three teams into this year's 12-team College Football Playoffs
Many BYU and Big 12 fans are clamoring for an expanded 24-team College Football Playoffs. This is largely due to the fact that the Big 12 has effectively been relegated to a one-bid conference in the current 12-team CFP format. ESPN, the AP Poll, and the
BYU football lines up a confusing road test against TCU in Week 2
All it took was one bye week for people to forget about BYU football. The Cougars dropped one place in the latest AP Poll, from 9 to 10 (but the legitimacy of that system has been torn to shreds this year over the first four weeks). After becoming a clear
The unbelievable stat about BYU's win-loss record when LJ Martin rushes for at least 77 yards

My formula predicts the rest of BYU's games and other week 5 games

BYU Explosive Stats: What the CSU game revealed about field goals, the lack of sacks, and a dominant O-line
Almost everything coming from the box score of BYU's romp over Colorado State was positive. This includes field goal kicking and eye-popping rushing stats, but there's one defensive stat that's still a big concern.
Record watch: LJ Martin's massive day at CSU made breaking BYU's rushing record possible
LJ Martin just passed Taysom Hill on BYU football's all-time rushing leaderboard thanks to a 176-yard outing against Colorado State in Week 3. In just over two quarters of play, LJ pushed near the 200-yard mark. That's an incredible feat for any running b
