BYU football: Cougs to open '09 campaign vs. Oklahoma in new Dallas stadium
Depending on the outcome of Thursday's game between No. 1-ranked Oklahoma and No. 2 Florida, the Cougars could start the year against the defending national champions. Depending on whether or not Sooner quarterback Sam Bradford remains in school for another year, BYU could also be facing the 2008 Heisman Trophy winner.
BYU and Oklahoma will be the first college game played at the Dallas Cowboys' new home and the Labor Day weekend showdown will be broadcast in prime time by either ABC or ESPN. BYU also released its entire 2009 non-conference schedule, with a game at Tulane (at the Louisiana Superdome, where Utah just beat Alabama in the Sugar Bowl) on Sept. 12 and home contests against Florida State on Sept. 19 and Utah State on Oct. 2.
Said Cougar coach Bronco Mendenhall: "We appreciate the unique opportunity of being part of the first college game played in the new home of the Dallas Cowboys. Given the strong football traditions of Oklahoma, BYU and the Dallas Cowboys, it's a fitting matchup and a perfect venue for what should be a great football game."
