Where's the game at?
Joined January 2010
🚨FRIDAY NEWS DUMP🚨 Today is my last day with The @KSLSportsZone. After 14 years, I am stepping away to pursue other opportunities. The decision was entirely mine. I feel a need to change some things in my life & this one of them. I will be continuing my work with @LockedOnCougars & the @LockedOnNetwork for those wondering. It would take too long to explain what The Zone & sports radio/media has meant to me & its impact on my life. I’ve been truly blessed to have had the chance to live a dream come true for many years now. I owe many thanks & a debt of gratitude to individuals like @DavidDJJames, @PKKinahan, @DLocke09, @ScottyGZone, @LloydColezone, @NateDowdle, @JakeScottZone, @BensHoops, @tlacomb, @GBSHansO, & @gregwrubell, along with a host of others who helped me break into the field & shepherded me from being a completely green intern 16 years ago into the grizzled media veteran I am today. I also thank all of you who have consumed any of the projects/podcasts/shows I have been part of. There’s more to come, so stay tuned. I’ll still pop up on The Zone from time-to-time, but I am eager to stretch my wings & work on some projects I’ve long-had sitting on the back burner. If you’re an individual or a business who’d like to work with me, I’m all ears & happy to chat. Reach out to me here, via DM/email etc. Thanks again to all of you for your continued support & the work doesn’t stop. We roll on!

Teach him to not head butt an opposing QB then? So many hypotheticals still coming from ND 🤷‍♂️
Freeman said Boubacar Traore is "worth 7 points, at least." He believes if Traore wasn't disqualified for targeting, that's a touchdown off the board for BYU.

The conduct of these fans at the @UCF vs. @BYU game was disgraceful, and the @SUS_Florida Board of Governors has no patience for this. The President of UCF, with whom I’ve been in contact, and his team, acted immediately when this occurred. Fans who did this were kicked out of the game, and i suspect the university will have its own plans for dealing with students who violated their policies. I know President Cartwright well, and no one is more disgusted than he is, and he is dealing with this appropriately. Thank you, @BYUFlorida and @BYU for your patience and understanding. These people’s conduct does NOT represent our State University System or UCF.
Stadium made an announcement for no discriminatory chants and boos flooded from the student section followed by another chant. Cops are now escorting students out of the game

Keene, a senior from Chandler, completed 10-of-20 passes for 160 yards before leaving the game with an injury. Fette went 3-of-6 for 45 yards in relief of the Sun Devils' 28-17 win.
Per a source, Arizona State QB Mikey Keene will be questionable this weekend at BYU. Freshman Jake Fette is in line to start if Keene can't go. He left the Kansas State game with a leg injury.

🚨 Pat McAfee GOES OFF on the University of Utah 😳 He says he’s never felt so uncomfortable, even bringing up what happened at UVU last year. “I did not enjoy the University of Utah.” HOLY SMOKES 💀

Here's the BYU depth chart for ASU this week. As expected, no Evan Johnson or Trevin Ostler. Cannon DeVries listed as starting nickel after Schmev had been playing there a lot recently Co-starters at RG with Ostler out between banged up Kyle Sfarcioc & Zac Yamauchi Also Sione Moa & Preston Rex are co-starters at RB this week

That would be a tough break if the season is over for Obot. He’s been every bit the player he was thought to be coming out of high school.
Morgan Scalley said that Kelvin Obot is seeking a second opinion on his injury and that there's a chance he could be done for the season. They will provide options and figure out what's best for him.

Evan Johnson is not likely to play this week against ASU, per Kalani Sitake. Trevin Ostler is out & likely to make an announcement on his status. LJ Martin is “getting close” to a return

Replying to @JakeHatch
Yep. Since 2000, BYU has only played in-state at 10am against Oklahoma in 2023 and New Mexico in 2004.

Josh nailed this. It’s an ideal time slot for getting eyeballs on both teams nationally, but it’s just a wild kickoff time locally. Last time BYU played at 10 am in-state was against Oklahoma in 2023 iirc
Look, for the games being played that day, the time to showcase the game is great. But it’s just not an ideal time in Utah. Both teams feed off the darkness.

Kyle Whittingham is "happy, thrilled, elated" that Utah is off to a 7-0 start, noting that "we left them with a lot of good players, and there are good coaches there." Whittingham was the head coach of the Utes for 21 years.

“Blessed are the peacemakers” - Remember that
I’ve debated whether I should post this, but I feel the need to share my perspective regarding Treyson Bourguet’s recent social media post. As a convert to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, someone who moved to Utah for school, and now someone who professionally covers college athletics in this state, I have a little bit more of an outside perspective. It’s disheartening to see the contention between BYU and Utah fans, especially when the conversation revolves around what it means to be “Christlike.” I respect BYU fans who have defended Treyson, just as I respect the Utah fan who disagree with his comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but disagreement doesn’t justify name-calling, personal attacks, or tearing others down. Having just attended a church and having a lesson today centered on love, I find it disappointing that so much of the online conversation reflects the opposite. We can disagree respectfully without questioning someone’s faith, character, or intentions. There is already enough hatred and negativity in this world. Regardless of your religious beliefs or university allegiance, I believe we could all benefit from greater kindness, humility, and self-reflection, myself included. I’m disappointed as human being. I hope we all continue to strive by demonstrating love, especially toward those with whom we disagree. Just my thoughts with all the back and forth.

If that’s the Bruce branch III we get all year that I saw in the UNLV scrimmage, then he’s not falling past 2 in the 2027 NBA Draft.
