For the first time in 27 years, the BYU and SMU football programs will face off. 

Both teams are coming into Friday's matchup undefeated just two weeks into the 2024 season. SMU won its first two games, trailing for much of the opener against Nevada before erasing a double-digit lead in the second half. In SMU's next game, the Mustangs cruised to a 52-point win.

BYU had a convincing win against Southern Illinois, with 27 first downs and 527 yards. With some tough matchups upcoming, the Cougars hope to make a statement early in the season. 

BYU is 4-0 all-time against SMU.
