What's At Stake

Miami and Georgetown will face on on Friday morning in battle for third place. This is the second last chance for BYU to get a quality win in the non-conference slate. BYU will take on Clemson in a few weeks - that will be the last resume-building opportunity before conference play kicks off in January.
