PROVO — By any account, either blue-goggled or shades of envy, BYU's 2020 football season was unlike any other. From playing in a global pandemic while other programs were planning to push to the spring, to finishing ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 for the first time since 2009, there has been no other season quite like 2020. The Cougars traveled from coast to coast, built up several rivalries and established new ones, as they were at one point the only team competing in college football located west of El Paso, looking for games and trying to garner national respect. Along the way, they found a way, thanks in large part to its mantra: any team, any time, any place — or at least, anyone that was willing to play amid several layers of COVID-19 restrictions.
