BYU football closed out its second week of fall camp with a spirited scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium, giving fans, coaches, and players a taste of game-day energy ahead of the upcoming season. The intrasquad matchup served as both a progress check and an opportunity for the team to simulate real-game scenarios in a competitive yet controlled environment.
Head coach Kalani Sitake and his staff took full advantage of the setting, evaluating position battles, testing depth, and assessing how well players have absorbed the playbook during the first two weeks of camp. With the season opener drawing closer, every rep carried weight—particularly for younger athletes looking to secure spots on the depth chart.
Quarterbacks rotated snaps, each showing flashes of potential while also facing pressure from an aggressive defensive front. The offense mixed in explosive plays with steady drives, while the defense countered with key stops and turnovers. The scrimmage also offered a chance for special teams to operate under live conditions, ensuring every phase of the game received attention.
For veterans, the day was about fine-tuning execution and building chemistry. For newcomers, it was a valuable learning experience—playing in the stadium under the watchful eyes of coaches and a small crowd of supporters. Sitake emphasized the importance of competing at a high level while maintaining discipline, noting that the next few practices will be pivotal in finalizing rotations.
With two weeks now in the books, BYU’s camp is shifting toward polishing schemes and solidifying its identity on both sides of the ball. The scrimmage at LaVell Edwards Stadium was not only a benchmark of progress but also a reminder that kickoff is fast approaching, and the Cougars are intent on being ready when the lights c
ome on.
