Zach Smith from the Waco Tribune-Herald joins the show to break down No. 22 BYU's trip to Baylor, including a resurgent Bears team that was left dumbstruck last week with an overtime loss to Colorado on a late-game Hail Mary — or two — by quarterback Shedeur Sanders.

Should BYU be weary of a road loss? It is Big 12 play, after all. Is that why Vegas pins the Bears as 3.5-point favorites for the 11 a.m. CT kickoff on the banks of the Brazos River?

Most importantly, Zach shares some ideas for how BYU fans can spend their time on a trip to Waco, including pre-game (breakfast) dining options for the early kick, as well as places to see in Central Texas before heading out of town (and no, not all of them involving Magnolia, Chip or Jo).

It's 1996 throwback week as BYU hosts No. 13 Kansas State in a Big 12 opener for both teams (even though the Wildcats just played Arizona — yeah, we know).

Sean Walker from KSL.com is joined by KStateOnline.com publisher and lead football writer Derek Young, part of the On3 network as well as the 3MAW podcast who admits he was too young to recall much of the 1997 Cotton Bowl meeting between the two teams.

But Young sees a potentially tight game playing out for a game where the Wildcats are 6.5-point favorites.

Is BYU football going to Wyoming for the last time on Saturday?

It's an interesting time to be a Pokes fan, with news of the four Mountain West schools headed to the rebuilding Pac-12 in 2026-27. That makes Saturday's "blast from the past" of an old WAC rivalry with BYU more important for a Cowboys team that has started 0-2 amid a swell of injuries and offensive ineptitude.

Cody Tucker from 7220Sports.com joins the program to break it down with KSL.com's Sean Walker on Rocking Royal, the official BYU podcast of the KSL.com Sports podcast network.
