BYU Football: Did you know? (BYU vs. Boise State, 2017)


In the past, Blue Cougar Football's weekly Did you know? post has contained one question followed by additional information to add context and depth. (Click here for an example.) Starting this week, and for the rest of the season, it will be different. This weekly feature will focus on the BYU Cougars' upcoming opponent, and will have many more than just one question.

While there may be a few general information, or interesting fact, type of questions, the overwhelming majority will be positive things that aim to celebrate the achievements of BYU football. Hope you enjoy the change!
