ORLANDO, Florida- In just their second year in the Big 12, the BYU Cougars have gained a reputation among other fanbases as one of the schools that will pack visiting stadiums the most. From Waco, Texas to Stillwater, Oklahoma, Cougar Nation has showed up and showed out in support of their football team on the road, and that is not different today in Orlando, Florida.

The BYU Cougars are taking on the UCF Knights at FBC Mortgage Stadium, just on the outskirts of Downtown Orlando. Despite the fact that the game is happening a whopping 2,345 miles away from Provo, Utah, a strong contingent of royal blue is large and loud, bringing a slice of LES madness wherever they go.

BYU Faithful In Orlando, Florida

Just before kickoff, photos started to emerge on social media of the sea of royal blue that began filling seats and sections at FBC Mortgage Stadium.

This comes as no surprise to the Cougar fanbase and teams they have visited in the past, but BYU has not visited UCF since 2014, and it seemed that Knights fans had forgotten what they were in for. Even on homecoming weekend in Orlando, BYU fans took over.

Every Game A Home Game For BYU

Every road trip this year for the Cougars has featured a sizable section in opposing stadiums of Cougar Nation, making “every game a home game” for the boys in blue.

Away crowds are just a taste of Cougar Nation when they’re on full display. Every single home game has exceeded the 62,073 capacity of Lavell Edwards Stadium with an average home attendance of 63,794.
