The game is currently scheduled for Saturday, November 9th. Fox will be starting Friday night football broadcasts in October. The Big 12 and Big 10 are on board. They will announce their schedule in late May. Since Utah and BYU have byes the week before – the rivalry game seems like a likely candidate.
This is the same week as the semi-final high school football matchups, which are traditionally played at RES. The UHSAA might have to move the games to Thursday.
What do you think? Is this a good thing? I know many Utah fans who believe that RES is more raucous for night games and that the team plays better. Would we make this our blackout game?
Go Utes!!!
