It's time for another home game at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo. The Cougars will take on Boise State
tonight at 6:00 pm. If you are going to the game dress warm and bring a blanket. They say it should be a nice night, but you never know what the weather might do. BYU is 5-2 this season and Boise State is 5-2, the Broncos own a 3-0 edge in the all time series. So it should be a good game to watch.
