BYU Cougars find themselves in a must-win situation against the Utah Utes this Saturday at Rice-Eccles Stadium after a stumble at UCF jeopardized their College Football Playoff hopes. The Cougars' running back LJ Martin is the focal point heading into the rivalry game, with all eyes on his health status after he was seen handing off from quarterback Bear Bachmeier during their previous meeting at LaVell Edwards Stadium on October 18, 2025. A victory over the Utes is essential for BYU to keep their postseason aspirations alive.
