PROVO -- With a chance to win the outright Mountain West Conference title and finish with an undefeated record at LaVell Edwards Stadium for the first time since the 2001 season, the BYU ticket office today announced a sellout is expected for Saturday's game. Officials have indicated there are approximately 2,000 tickets remaining for the final home game of the season.
Saturday's game will also mark the final home game for 25 seniors. Fans are encouraged to arrive early as the seniors will be introduced before the game. In addition, fans are being encouraged to wear blue in an effort to create a blue-out for the game.
Including a 48-point victory over Wyoming last Thursday, the Cougars have outscored their opponents at home 241-55. BYU's has won five home games this season by an average of 37.2 points per game -- the largest margin of victory in BYU history. The Cougars also lead the nation in home scoring margin.
Defensively, the Cougars have given up just seven touchdowns at home this season. All but three of those touchdowns came after BYU had already mounted at least a 30-point lead. The Cougars have not trailed at home since the 3:51 mark of the second quarter in the team's home-opener against Tulsa. After trailing the Golden Hurricane by seven points for just over four minutes, BYU has not trailed in a game at Edwards Stadium this season for a string of nearly 274 minutes -- 273 minutes, 51 seconds to be exact.
