As announced by the University of Mississippi today, BYU will open the season Saturday, September 3rd at Ole Miss in Oxford, Mississippi, with a 2:45pm MT kickoff; the game will be televised on ESPN.
While we normally start pregame coverage two hours prior, KSL will start pregame coverage at 12:30pm MT that day, allowing for slightly extended coverage for the season opener. Similarly, for the Utah game on September 17th, pregame coverage will start at 5:00pm, with a 7:15pm kickoff.
