Rivalry Renewed » Wyoming football with 7220 Sports' Cody Tucker

Is BYU football going to Wyoming for the last time on Saturday?
It's an interesting time to be a Pokes fan, with news of the four Mountain West schools headed to the rebuilding Pac-12 in 2026-27. That makes Saturday's "blast from the past" of an old WAC rivalry with BYU more important for a Cowboys team that has started 0-2 amid a swell of injuries and offensive ineptitude.
Cody Tucker from 7220Sports.com joins the program to break it down with KSL.com's Sean Walker on Rocking Royal, the official BYU podcast of the KSL.com Sports podcast network.
