The BYU Cougars announced they will don throwbakc uniforms that pay homage to the 1996 BYU football program this fall when they face the Kansas State Wildcats in their Big 12 Conference opener and Jake Hatch explained what he feels about the move and why it means more to him than most seemingly innocuous uniform reveals from Brigham Young University (BYU).

Jake then talked about the commitment of Timpview High School linebacker prospect Taaniela 'Taani' Makasini as he follows his big brother, Sonny Makasini, in making a verbal commitment to Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program and it's just more evidence that BYU has picked up momentum on the recruiting trail this summer and the Cougars are building a great class.

Finally, the show wrapped up with a look at Big 12 Media Days next week and the five players who will represent BYU at the event in Tyler Batty, Connor Pay, Jakob Robinson, Darius Lassiter and Chase Roberts along with head coach Kalani Sitake as they speak with the hordes of media who will be at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
