BYU Football is taking on the Stanford Cardinal on Saturday Night, and this will be the Cougars’ first real test.
BYU Football handled Portland State as they should, winning 69-0. Now the Cougars face their first real test of the year, the Stanford Cardinal, coming to Provo. BYU is gearing up for another season in the Big 12, and Stanford proves to be the perfect warmup with just the right amount of difficulty. The Cardinal are coming off a tough loss against Hawai’i, with a field goal in the closing seconds breaking the tie and handing Stanford a 23-20 loss.
The University of Stanford is located in Stanford, California, and plays at Stanford Stadium. They are 0-1 this year and lead the all-time series against BYU 2-1. The last meeting between the two programs ended in a 35-26 win for the Cougars. Stanford competes in the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and last year finished 16th in the ACC with a record of 3-9.
Stanford has a few good players, including quarterback Ben Gulbranson, who threw for 109 yards against Hawai’i. Running back Micah Ford rushed for 113 yards in the loss to Hawai’i. Stanford needs a way to bounce back after that loss and a 3-9 season, so this one isn’t guaranteed. But it will be a good game, and BYU should be ok.
BYU and Stanford are gearing up for a good game against each other at Lavell Edwards Stadium. It should be an entertaining game, and BYU is the favorite. The Cougars are ready for a real test, and this game will be fun. BYU is in for an exciting game, and I expect Lavell Edwards Stadium to be rocking. It’s there for the taking for the Cougars, and they can win this game.
