BYU Football Schedule in 2010 Begins Against Washington Huskies Football Team

The 2010 BYU football schedule opened against the Washington Huskies Saturday. The 2010 BYU football schedule includes Washington and Florida State as two of their non-conference games this season, adding a lot of respect to the scheduling by Brigham Young. Washington is looking to return to the top of the Pac-10 Conference and Florida State is expected to be one of teams that contend for the ACC Championship in 2010. Including both teams, in addition to their conference schedule, it could earn BYU a lot of respect when it comes to voters in the polls later in the 2010 college football season. They will have to win games against these national teams though, and then they have to worry about a couple of very tough teams in the conference.

The 2010 Mountain West Conference standings could get very interesting later on in the season, especially with Utah and the defense that they possess, and the No. 6 ranked TCU team that is lurking. TCU's only loss last year was against Boise State in their BCS bowl game, in a game that could have gone either way. Now TCU is back with a schedule that could lend to them either getting eliminated early from the BCS picture, or rolling into Mountain West play with even more to prove than usual. For Brigham Young though, they have to focus on the non-conference games first, and worry about the MWC championship later. They do have to play Air Force next week in their first conference game, but that is before they travel to Florida State on September 18.

BYU will try to control the ball during the 2010 college football season, and they will rely upon quarterbacks Jake Heaps and Riley Nelson to confuse defenses and forward the offense throughout the season. If they can do well with the help of running back JJ Di Luigi, BYU could be looking at a much improved offense this year. Whether they can improve upon their impressive 11-2 record (3-1 against Top 25 teams) in the 2009 college football season will definitely be an interesting facet to this season. Can they do it? And can they get back to a big bowl game in the next bowl season? Stay tuned, because BYU should have several nationally covered games this year, and it could be a great year again for BYU football.
