FOX may have done BYU a solid this week by slotting the Cougars into a night kickoff on the road at West Virginia, BYUs first-ever game in the state and first trip to Morgantown.

The Cougars head coach and offensive coordinator were both college teammates of Sarkisian.

The redshirt freshman from Heath, Texas, completed 37-of-58 passes for 439 yards and four touchdowns as TCU welcomed BYU into the Big 12 with a 44-11 win Saturday afternoon.

Both the BYU Cougars and the Utah Utes are coming off bye weeks and the stakes are high Saturday afternoon when they face TCU and Cal, respectively. See predictions here.

The Cougars got some welcome news on offense, with a likely return of wide receivers Kody Epps and Parker Kingston.

In many ways, BYU had no business winning Friday nights Big 12 opener.

Like the second-half fire knife dancers that have become a recent hit, BYUs Big 12 home debut caught fire Friday night.

Both BYU and Cincinnati are looking to avoid falling to 0-2 in Big 12 play. The Cougars surrendered 21 points on three turnovers in a 38-27 loss to Kansas. The Bearcats have suffered back-to-back losses and fell 20-6 to Oklahoma at home after failing to convert on two trips into the red zone.

The ethereal becomes reality this weekend, when BYU opens Big 12 play against fellow undefeated Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas.
