With the transfer portal becoming more and more prevalent in college football, I thought I'd look into BYU's history of FBS transfer additions.

The Cougars have had 126 FBS transfers enter the program. Here are all the schools they played for prior to coming to Provo.

The classic “you can’t criticize a player if you weren’t also a high level player” comment.

This is very funny coming from an Aggie

And then it wound up getting ruled incomplete anyway.

Today will be the 29th meeting between BYU and ASU. The Sun Devils have won 20 of the first 28 games, but BYU has won the last 3 (ASU was ranked in all 3 games).

The first matchup took place in Tempe in 1935 when ASU was still the Bulldogs, not the Sun Devils. BYU won 13-0.

BYU is 8-20 all-time against Arizona State. The Cougars won the first two matchups (in 1935 and 1948) and have won the last three meetings (1997, 1998, 2021)

Let's find some random #BYUFOOTBALL players! Give me a number between 1 and 2639 and see who you pull.

Bonus points if you can name this former Cougar QB.

For all my Matt Carlino fans out there, found this pic of him warming up before the Iowa State game in 2013.

11 years (and 5 days) ago, Bronson Kaufusi had a pick six against Idaho State. He is the only BYU defensive lineman with a pick six since 1980.

11 years ago, we were playing Idaho State. Now we’re in the Big 12. Nice.

BYU's comeback from an 11-point halftime deficit was the largest such comeback under Kalani Sitake and only the 14th time in program history that BYU has come back to win a game after trailing by 10+ at the half.

BYU is currently on pace for 956 rushing yards for the season. BYU has rushed for at least 1,000 yards every season since 1946.

The last time they failed to reach 1k was in 1942, when they rushed for 842 yards in 7 games.
