The Holy War isn’t just BYU vs. Utah—it’s the heartbeat of Utah sports. In this episode, Zach Quinn takes you on a storytelling deep dive through the full history of the rivalry: from leather helmets in the 1890s, to LaVell Edwards revolutionizing BYU football, to Urban Meyer and Kyle Whittingham flipping the script at Utah, to unforgettable moments like Beck-to-Harline, the 2009 Max Hall rant, and the Las Vegas Bowl chaos.
We’ll unpack the culture, the families, the faith, and the passion that make this game unlike anything else in college football. And then we’ll fast-forward to today for a way-too-early preview of the 2025 Holy War—now a Big 12 showdown with real playoff stakes on the line.
