BYU at Arizona
This will mark the 24th all-time meeting between former WAC conference mates Arizona and BYU this Saturday night. Arizona leads the all-time series 12-10-1.
This will be the first meeting between the Cougars and Wildcats since they met in Glendale, AZ in 2016, a game that BYU would win in a defensive battle, 18-16. Over the last 4 meetings, dating back to 2006, the schools have evenly split, 2-2.
BYU and Arizona started their series in 1936, when Arizona would beat the Cougars 32-6. They would not meet again until 1957, which resulted in the only tie in the series at 14-14. BYU would get their first win in the series in 1959, an 18-14 Cougar win in Tucson.
Between 1962 and 1977, the two sides played fairly regularly, with Arizona going 9-7 during that time against the Cougars. Arizona would leave the WAC after the 1978 season to take the PAC-8 to being the PAC-10, along with Arizona State. It would be 28 years before the sides would meet again in 2006, and the teams are 2-2 against each other since that date.
