BYU football goes to familiar uniform combination for Utah game

PROVO — BYU football is taking the “if it’s not broken, don’t fix it” approach with this week’s uniform against Utah.

The 9th-ranked Cougars in the initial College Football Playoff rankings will wear an all-royal blue uniform. It’s the same combination they have worn in the last two meetings against the Utes in 2024 and 2025, both BYU victories.

Since 2011, BYU and Utah games have featured the Utes in red uniforms and BYU in some shade of blue. Since 2013, BYU has worn royal blue uniforms every year against the Utes.
