Delta got off to a hot start in its 2A semifinal against Summit Academy, which it desperately needed.

It’s called the Holy War for a reason, but it’s also a massive matchup with College Football Playoff implications. If BYU wins, they’ll control their own CFP destiny the rest of the way. If the Cougars lose, they may need a lot of help to eventually sneak into the back end of the Playoff field.

Urban Meyer Fuels Rivalry Tension With “Good vs. Evil” Remark About Former Team's Week 10 Game

The Utah-BYU rivalry has always been about more than what happens on the field. The red and blue divide has become a major part of the Holy War, with both sides taking pride in their traditions and the history between the programs. During one particularly intense period, blue pens and markers were reportedly banned from Utah’s football facilities, while players and staff were encouraged to refer to BYU as “The Team Down South” rather than use the Cougars’ name. That rivalry is back in focus as Utah and BYU prepare to meet in Week 10. The matchup carries plenty of importance for both teams as t...
