It's Official: Utah-BYU back on ESPN

ESPN made official today what has been expected since BYU and ESPN announced their TV deal: the Utah-BYU rivalry will be back on ESPN. The Worldwide Leader announced that the September 17th matchup in Provo will be televised on ESPN2. What may not have been expected, however, is that the game will fill a primetime slot, kicking off at 7:15 pm MT.

The 2011 game will mark the first time the rivalry has aired on ESPN since 2004, when the original-BCS-busting Utes capped their perfect season with a blowout victory over the Cougars.
