Big 12 Holds Off On Kick Time For BYU’s Regular Season Finale Against Houston

PROVO, Utah – BYU football will close the 2024 regular season against the Houston Cougars.

This will be the first time these two programs will face off as conference foes. They both joined the Big 12 Conference in 2023.

On Monday, it was announced that the November 30 between the two programs would be placed on a six-day hold. That means the kickoff time and TV info would not be announced until after Saturday, November 23.

It’s the third time this season that a BYU game (Baylor and UCF) has been placed on a six-day hold.

Potential TV spots for the game on November 30 include 10 a.m. (MST) on ESPN2 and FS1, 1:30 p.m. on FOX, 5 p.m. on FOX, or a Big 12 After Dark special on ESPN.

BYU is 9-1 overall and 6-1 in Big 12 play after suffering its first loss of the season last week against Kansas. Houston is 4-6 overall and 3-4 in conference after falling to Arizona this past Friday in Tucson.

BYU goes on the road to take on Arizona State this Saturday before hosting the Cougars in red. Houston hosts Baylor this Saturday, then travels to Provo for only the second time in their program’s history.

BYU leads the all-time series against Houston 3-0. The all-Cougar matchup was first played in 2013 when Taysom Hill passed for 417 yards and ran for 128 to lead BYU to a 47-46 victory.

Houston’s first visit to Provo was in 2014, a Thursday night game that BYU won 33-25. Then, the last meeting was in 2020; originally scheduled to be played in Provo, the game was moved to Houston amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. BYU won that game as well, 43-26.
