The eighth-ranked Cougars had a week off to rest up after a big win over a then-ranked Boise State team.

Now they face a North Alabama team this weekend that’s winless in three games this season. The game kicks off at 1:00 pm with a 12:30 pregame show on KSVC 980 AM, 100.5 FM and at midutahradio.com.

BYU won’t play again until Dec. 12 against San Diego State. The Cougars might try to pick up another opponent, but this game could be a way to make another statement with the first College Football Playoff rankings set to be released for the first time this season on Nov. 24.
