The hype video was titled “A New Era” and featured clips from BYU’s past while incorporating highlights from BYU’s non-conference matchups this season.

Eighth-year BYU head coach Kalani Sitake expressed the historic nature of Saturday’s game against Kansas earlier this week.

“This is our opening game in the Big 12 Conference. We’re never going to get this back again,” Sitake said. “So I need these guys to understand the seriousness of this situation and why there needs to be a huge sense of urgency for us to get to a position where we can play our best.”
