BYU vs Colorado Preview, East Carolina Win Breakdown, Evan Johnson Athlete of the Week, Campus Notes
Y’s Guys presents a special Wednesday night BYU–Colorado Preview Show as Cougar Nation gears up for Saturday night’s Big 12 opener in Boulder. With BYU now ranked in the Top 25 across the AP and Coaches polls, Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler break down the Cougars’ 34–13 win over East Carolina and look ahead to the matchup with Deion Sanders’ Buffaloes. Head coach Kalani Sitake and Coach Prime himself weigh in on the game’s buildup, while Blaine reveals his three keys to victory.
The show also features Kyle Taylor from BYU Alumni, who shares details on alumni tailgate events and service projects planned in Colorado. Fans traveling to Boulder will get a full rundown on how Cougar Nation is uniting to support the team on the road. A “tale of the tape” comparison highlights BYU’s nation-leading scoring defense and rushing offense against Colorado’s mid-tier rankings, underscoring why the Cougars enter as six-point favorites.
Beyond football, Y’s Guys updates fans on all things BYU sports. Women’s volleyball continues its undefeated streak at 12–0 with the Big 12 opener against Colorado and a weekend matchup with Iowa State. Soccer holds a top-20 ranking despite a tough road loss, and cross country remains among the nation’s best with both the men’s and women’s teams ranked in the top five. Basketball fans also hear the latest on Joe Lunardi’s bracketology placing BYU as a projected No. 2 seed, as well as new recruiting news, coaching staff updates, and the Marriott Center’s home court ranking.
This week’s Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week, presented by Redmond, honors junior cornerback Evan Johnson, who recorded back-to-back interceptions against ECU—including a goal-line pick that prevented a Pirate score and another that flipped the game with a long return. With campus notes, Big 12 rundowns, Cougar NFL updates, and a celebration of Wally Joyner’s Utah Sports Hall of Fame induction, this Wednesday Special delivers everything BYU fans need to get ready for a massive weekend in Boulder.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
