Arizona State Displays Traditional Attire for Homecoming Clash Against BYU
In a highly anticipated Big 12 matchup, Arizona State University (ASU) is set to don a traditional ensemble for its homecoming game against Brigham Young University (BYU) this Saturday. The game, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. local time at Mountain America Stadium in Tempe, marks a significant event as the ASU Sun Devils face the BYU Cougars.
The decision to wear maroon jerseys and gold pants, complemented by gold Sparky helmets, was met with enthusiasm from fans on social media. The iconic colors are emblematic of Arizona State’s storied football history and are expected to rally support from the home crowd.
BYU has also announced its uniform for the encounter, opting for blue helmets, white jerseys, and blue pants. This tactical fashion choice has stirred excitement among Cougar supporters, setting the stage for a vibrant visual spectacle on the field.
The No. 14 BYU Cougars enter the game with a 9-1 record, seeking redemption following a surprising 17-13 loss to Kansas last week. This marked their first defeat of the season, a result partly attributed to two critical turnovers, including an interception and a lost fumble which Kansas capitalized on for seven points.
Meanwhile, the No. 21 Arizona State Sun Devils, with an 8-2 record, are on a winning streak, claiming victory in their last three games. Their recent triumph came against Kansas State, where they emerged victorious with a 24-14 scoreline, fueled by quarterback Sam Leavitt‘s impressive performance of 275 yards and three touchdowns.
The matchup, which holds significant implications for standings in the Big 12 Conference, will be broadcast on ESPN at 2:30 p.m. Central Time. Interested viewers can access the game online through various platforms offering free trials or discounted subscriptions.
