The BYU Cougars are seeing an uptick in their recruting efforts since joining the Big 12 Conference and getting a Power 4 label attached to their program and pending how long University of Utah coach Kyle Whittingham stays on with the Utes, it could get even better for Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program even with Morgan Scalley taking control of the Utah Utes.

Jake Hatch nad JT Wistrcill talked about the highly-anticipated Holy War matchup between Brigham Young University and Utah this November as the two agree it is the premier rivalry in the Big 12 and something that both fanbases can enjoy much like stars Cam Rising and Connor Pay have been able to do with their recent comments to the media about the rivalry game.

Finally, the show wrapped up with some thoughts on the ongoing conference realignment rumors and news with the Atlantic Coast Conference embroiled in lawuits with the Florida State Seminoles and Clemson Tigers as Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark looks to fruther strengthen his league, likely at the expense of the ACC, which could go the way of the Pac-12.
