BYU Athletic Director Tom Holmoe on Monday unveiled the 2014 BYU football schedule--a schedule that opens on a late-August Friday night at Connecticut.
The 12-game regular-season slate will see the Cougars play in all four continental time zones, with road games at UConn and Central Florida (Eastern), Middle Tennessee and Texas (Central), Boise State (Mountain) and California (Pacific).
Home games include the back end of home-and-home schedule arrangements with Virginia, Houston and Nevada, a visit from former MWC foe UNLV, and a meeting with FCS opponent Savannah State. Utah State will visit Provo for a Friday night contest preceding the LDS Church's General Conference weekend.
"I'm pleased with the way this schedule came together. I think it has good balance," said Holmoe. "I like playing in different regions of the country, including several places we've never been. It's a unique opportunity for our football team and great for Cougar Nation."
BYU's 2014 slate will be the first not to include a scheduled game with rival Utah; the Utes return to BYU's schedule in 2016.
BYU will have two byes in 2014, on the weeks of Sept. 27 and Nov. 8.
