New combo. We have never worn this combo with a white facemask.

I think it’s incredible that we’re in the position we are. This is the most talented team BYU has ever had in my opinion. We have good coaches and good players. We have two big wins over two good ranked teams.

And yet, it’s quite remarkable to think we should only get better for the rest of the season. We just won our last two games (one against the #1 defense in the country) without our Big 12 POTY star running back. We didn’t have our RB2 for that matter either haha. We’ve yet to play a complete game from start to finish in my opinion either (excluding Utah Tech).

We had a slow first half against Arizona. A rough end of 3rd and 4th quarter against Colorado State. Struggled all game on offense against TCU. Left points on the board against Iowa State, and fumbled a punt return. Fumbled another punt, failed a fake punt, lost the turnover battle, and were shutout in the 3rd quarter against Notre Dame. We won all of those games. Imagine how much we can still clean up and improve as the season goes on!

I’m very excited to see us build and improve because I think it’s part of the identity of this year’s team, and the culture Kalani has implemented. Stay humble, stay hungry. Fix and iron out those mistakes. Can’t wait to see what our fully functioning team can look like! Go Cougs!

Came across this…. Loved every minute of it

Dear BYU Nation,

I've got a challenge for you. And honestly, this might be the most BYU thing you could do this weekend.

BYU is coming to Florida to play UCF this Saturday. What if the Cougars left Florida with a story bigger than football?

Let me introduce you to Columbia High School in Lake City, Florida. We're a small-town high school with a big football tradition, and right now, we're competing for a chance to win a $250,000 stadium upgrade through T-Mobile's Friday Night 5G Lights competition.

There's just one problem.

We're down approximately 50,000 votes.

Fifty. Thousand. Votes.

Our deadline is this Saturday, October 24. We're running out of time, and the odds are stacked against our little town.

But then I started thinking about BYU.

💙 The Cougars are known for representing something bigger than football.

💙 BYU athletes and supporters have participated in service projects and community outreach.

💙 Cougar Nation has a reputation for rallying behind people and causes that matter.

And if there's one thing college football loves, it's an incredible underdog story.

So what if Cougar Nation decided to adopt a small-town Florida high school for one week?

Here's the connection that makes this personal.

Columbia High School's band director, Miller, is a BYU graduate!

That's right. One of your own is part of our school community.

And now we have a chance to do something unforgettable for him, our students, our football players, and our entire community.

💙 HERE'S MY CHALLENGE TO COUGAR NATION:

🐾 VOTE FOR COLUMBIA HIGH SCHOOL. Every eligible vote matters.

📣 SHARE THIS POST. Send it to every BYU graduate, Cougar fan, former player, student, and alumni group you know.

📱 TAG YOUR COUGAR FRIENDS. Let's see how far this story can travel.

🏈 CHALLENGE THE BYU FOOTBALL COMMUNITY. Imagine the players, alumni, and fans seeing this story and deciding to help.

🔥 MAKE #DoItForMiller GO VIRAL.

You don't have to live in Lake City, Florida. You don't have to know anyone at Columbia High School. You just have to believe that sometimes the greatest moments in sports happen when people come together to do something extraordinary.

Imagine the story.

A small-town high school is trailing by 50,000 votes.

A BYU graduate is working as its band director.

The Cougars come to Florida.

And suddenly, Cougar Nation rallies behind a little school it had never heard of.

What if, years from now, Columbia High School students could say that the BYU Cougars helped their community pull off one of the most incredible comebacks in high school football history?

That's the kind of story that deserves to be told.

BYU Nation, we're asking you to help us find out what's possible.

Let's give Miller something to remember.

Let's give these students something to celebrate.

And let's show the country what happens when the Cougars come to town!

💙🏈 COUGAR NATION, ARE YOU IN? 🏈💙
