PROVO, Utah – The final regular season game of the 2024 BYU football season will be a cold one.

No. 19 BYU hosts the Houston Cougars tonight at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Kick-off is at 8:15 p.m. (MST).



KSL meteorologist Matt Johnson provided an updated weather forecast for tonight’s game during “KSL Today” Friday morning.

“It will be cold. Layers, bundle up, people. 36 to 33 is the temperature range. And yes, it is the last game of the (regular) season for the Cougars. Kind of a must-win situation for BYU,” Johnson said.

Today’s game in Houston will be the second straight BYU home game where temperatures hover around freezing. On November 9, BYU faced Kansas and lost in a game where the kickoff temperature was 33 degrees.

Last week, BYU played at Arizona State in a temperature of 78 degrees in Tempe.

Must-win dynamic Matt Johnson pointed to ties to BYU, which still has a chance at a spot in next week’s Big 12 Championship Game in Arlington.

BYU needs to beat Houston, but also needs Arizona State or Iowa State to lose one of their games. If both results occur, BYU will play in the Big 12 Championship Game in Texas next week.
