About this listen

 Based on their performances so far in the 2025 season, both BYU and Utah have shown they are legitimate forces in college football. While they come from different backgrounds—one a new Big 12 member and the other an established power—both have demonstrated a high level of talent and are off to a very good start. Utah's Dominance Utah, the new member of the Big 12, has been particularly impressive. They started their season with a statement win, a convincing 43-10 victory over UCLA on the road. This win was notable for a few reasons. First, it came against a traditional power and a team that is now in the Big Ten, which helps the Big 12's credibility. Second, the Utes showcased their trademark physicality on both sides of the ball. Their offense controlled the game with a powerful running attack and efficient passing, while their defense stifled UCLA, holding them to just 220 total yards. Utah followed up that performance with a 63-9 win over Cal Poly. This strong start demonstrates that the Utes, under long-time coach Kyle Whittingham, are poised to be a major contender in their new conference from day one. BYU's Explosive Start BYU has also looked exceptionally good in its opening games. They started their season with a record-setting performance, a 69-0 shutout victory over Portland State. The Cougars' offense was unstoppable, accumulating over 600 yards of total offense, including an incredible 468 on the ground. True freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier was electric in his debut, accounting for five touchdowns. BYU's defense was equally impressive, holding Portland State to negative total yards on the ground and just 51 yards overall. While the competition was an FCS team, the sheer dominance of the performance was a clear sign of the team's potential. They followed that up with a comfortable win over Stanford, cementing their place as a team to watch in the Big 12.Overall, both BYU and Utah have shown that they are very good at football and should be considered serious threats in the new, expanded Big 12 conference.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!5-Hour ENERGYTee up that trip!
