This will be only the third BYU football home game with an “after dark” designation. That means the fourth television window that is 8 p.m. (MT) or later. BYU is 2-0 in the other two late-night games this year in Provo (Sam Houston, Cincinnati).
The designation to have the game on ESPN gives BYU its fourth ESPN appearance of the season. Big 12 Conference held off on placing television designations for the rest of the week 11 kick times. Every other game received the “Six-Day hold.”

BYU is 5-3 overall this season and 2-3 in the Big 12 Conference after losing to No. 7 Texas last Saturday in Austin.
Iowa State is also 5-3 but is in a five-way tie atop the Big 12 standings at 4-1. The Cyclones host Kansas this Saturday before making its first trip to BYU since 1973. BYU will travel to Morgantown for the first time ever to face West Virginia before hosting Iowa State.
