BYU will wear a new uniform combination featuring All-White and Navy Blue
Meanwhile, BYU will wear a first-time uniform combination. The Cougars will wear an all-white uniform with navy blue numbers and stripes and a navy blue helmet featuring a white facemask.
Friday night’s matchup will be the fifth meeting all-time between the two schools. BYU has never lost to the Mustangs, holding a perfect 4-0 record.
The last time BYU played SMU in Dallas was in 1997 when the two were members of the Western Athletic Conference (WAC). Like in the 2024 matchup, SMU wore a red uniform in that game.
