  "account": "The Utah Tech Thunderbirds, returning from a 2-10 season, face off against the highly experienced BYU Cougars in a crucial non-conference game. BYU has won six straight openers in recent years, starting with a loss to Utah in 2019. The Cougars have two remaining non-conference matchups, one against Colorado State and one at home against Notre Dame. Utah Tech, despite not doing well against a strong Montana State, seems to have some decent offensive plays against the Utah Tech defense. The game will be held at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, on Saturday, September 5, 2026, at 8:00 pm ET on ESPN+. BYU is favored with a predicted score of 65-0.",
  "summary": "BYU has one game before the Big 12 opener, and it needs to use every snap against Utah Tech to prepare. Here's the CFN preview and prediction.",
