BYU’s magical 9-0 start to last season fizzled at the end to see them miss the Big 12 title game and College Football Playoff.
The Cougars won’t be in that spot again.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and ‘Locked On Utes’ host JT Wistrcill discuss whether Utah should be believed as a Big 12 title contender.
