in the Power 5 conference in 2023. The Cougars have a

record of 86-50 since becoming an independent in 2011.

INDEPENDENCE: YEAR ELEVEN

After finishing the 2020 season 11-1, BYU enters its 11th season as an independent. This season, the Cougars play seven teams from Power

5 conferences, including three to start the year. BYU will face five teams from the Pac-12 in Arizona, Utah, Arizona State, Washington State

and USC. The Cougars will also match up with Baylor of the Big 12 and Virginia of the ACC. In addition to those Power 5 matchups, BYU also

plays in-state foe Utah State along with Mountain West power Boise State. The Cougars will host USF of the American and Idaho State from

the FCS.

LAVELL EDWARDS STADIUM

LaVell Edwards Stadium with its 63,470-seat capacity is home to BYU football. Originally Cougar Stadium, it was built in 1964 and seated

30,000. It was expanded in 1982 to seat 65,000 permanent seats before official capacity became 63,470 after various refurbishments. For

the 2012 season the stadium featured new video walls and LED ribbons on the north and south end zone stands. BYU¡¯s winning percentage

at LaVell Edwards Stadium is ranked No. 1 among teams playing in their current stadium.

Stadium record: 252-81 (.757)

2021: 5-1

MISSIONS

Brigham Young University is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The missionary emphasis of the Church

is perhaps one of its most recognized characteristics.

Since the organization of the Church in 1830, over one million missionaries have served. The Church operates more than 400 missions

around the world in over 150 nations speaking more than 160 languages. More than 53,000 missionaries representing the Church are

serving proselytizing missions around the world. Most of the Church¡¯s proselytizing missionaries are young men between the ages of 18 and

26. A substantial number of young women and older couples also serve proselytizing missions. Missionaries work long hours ¡ª seven days a

week for two years (or 18 months for women and couples) ¡ª teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and participating in community service.

About 65 percent of the current team has served a mission. Members of the team have served in 28 different countries and six of the seven

continents around the globe. More than 30 members of the team (previous signees or on roster) are currently serving in the mission field.

HONOR CODE

BYU¡¯s Honor Code helps maintain this learning environment. Initiated by students in 1949, the Honor Code emphasizes being honest, living

a chaste and virtuous life, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco, using clean language, and following other values in line with the doctrines of

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

POLYNESIAN PIPELINE

The Polynesian Islands have become a hotbed for recruiting in recent years, but BYU has been one of the pioneers in bringing these players

from Tonga, Samoa, the Hawaiian Islands and all of Polynesia to the forefront of college football since the early 1950s. About 40 members of

the current roster are of Polynesian descent.

Some of BYU¡¯s most celebrated and decorated players have come from the Pacific islands, including All-Americans, national record holders,

players who have gone on to compete in the NFL and now, several members of BYU¡¯s current coaching and support staff.

Kalani Sitake was named BYU¡¯s 14th head coach on Dec. 19, 2015, becoming the first Tongan head football coach in the NCAA. His staff

includes Polynesians Ilaisa Tuiaki, Fesi Sitake Harvey Unga, Nu¡¯u Tafisi, Jack Damuni, Jasen Ah You, Al Pupunu and Vince Feula.

FORMER PLAYERS ON STAFF

There are 15 former BYU football players on the football and athletic administration staff. Members of the staff were part of Cougar teams

that won the 1980 ¡°Miracle Bowl,¡± the 1984 National Championship, 1996 Cotton Bowl along with many other accolades.
