BYU faces Wyoming in quest for 3-0 start before Big 12 play

The upcoming game between BYU and Wyoming marks a significant moment for both teams. Scheduled for Saturday, September 9, 2023, at 9 p.m. ET, this matchup features BYU, who is currently undefeated at 2-0, against a struggling Wyoming team that has yet to secure a win this season, holding a record of 0-2. The Cougars have a notable historical advantage, leading the series against the Cowboys 46-30-3, and they emerged victorious in their last meeting in 2022 with a score of 38-24. BYU's performance in the early season has set high expectations as they aim for a 3-0 start, a goal they achieved last year before facing challenges in Big 12 play, where they finished with a 2-7 record. This season, they are looking to build momentum and improve upon their previous performance in the conference. Wyoming, under new head coach Jay Sawvel, is still seeking its first win after losses to Idaho and Arizona State. The Cowboys' defensive end, Sabastian Harsh, showcased his skills with 2.5 tackles for loss in the recent game against Idaho, indicating potential for improvement. As both teams prepare for this crucial game, the outcome will not only impact their current standings but also set the tone for the remainder of the season, especially for BYU as they transition into Big 12 competition.
