The rivalry between BYU and Utah on the football field kicks off a new era in 2026. Morgan Scalley is the new head coach of the Utes as Kyle Whittingham steps down.
Kalani Sitake and Scalley were colleagues at Utah and worked on the same staff together for years.
Now they will battle against one another. KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper shared his thoughts on what Scalley taking over at Utah means for the rivalry going forward.
Also, in this episode of Cougar Tracks, Harper discussed BYU football players who plan to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal. One of those players is offensive tackle Jake Griffin, who was part of the 2020 recruiting class, a group that backed up what the recruiting rankings said about them when they signed.
Then, finally, BYU basketball stays at No. 10 in the latest AP Top 25. BYU is flying high behind freshman AJ Dybantsa.
