The BYU Cougars and 133 other FBS teams will celebrate with millions of college football fans as EA College Football 25 finally is released to the public at-large Monday and Jake Hatch says the ratings for Kalani Sitake and the BYU football program are pretty similar to real life, leaving a lot of room for BYU to surprise, both in virtual reality and in the Big 12 Conference in real life.

Jake then talked about the commitment of Sugar-Salem High School standout Boyd Sorensen to Brigham Young University (BYU) and why he thinks Sorensen's addition is a "Jay Hill special," as Sorensen is the type of player Hill brought to Weber State during his days in Ogden and they became household names and this could be that same deal, this time in Provo.

Finally, the show wrapped up with a hearty congratulations to BYU men's golf standout Cole Ponich on winning the Utah State Amateur as he held of emerging BYU golf star Cooper Jones and some thoughts on more smoke with Big 12 expansion as the Florida State Seminoles and Clemson Tigers appear to be the top targets for Brett Yormark and co.
