PROVO, Utah – When BYU football hosts Boise State on Saturday, October 9 at LaVell Edwards, the Cougars are going all-blue. A look that the Broncos typically wear.
BYU will wear all-navy uniforms against Boise State. It’s the first time since 2004 that BYU will don a navy blue helmet. BYU wore navy blue helmets with vegas tan decals from 1999-2004 before switching back to white helmets in 2005 when Bronco Mendenhall took over as head coach.
