The Holy War is more than a football game. BYU vs UU, the University of Utah is one of the biggest rivalries in college sports and in the state of Utah. Families are divided, feelings run deep, and it is about more than wins and losses. The history goes back nearly 100 years, with Utah leading the series 62 to 36 with 4 ties.
So what is the origin of the Holy War, the cultural and religious undertones, and why does it go far beyond the field? BYU has the only national championship in the state, but Utah has the BCS bowl appearances. The rivalry includes the UTES, the University of Utah, who always cheer against the BYU Cougars, the colors, the fans, the jokes, and the passion that make this game bigger than anything else in Utah sports.
This year the Holy War takes place October 18th at Lavell Edwards Stadium in Provo. We are giving away two tickets and a $500 gift card so you can have the ultimate game day experience. Find us on Instagram at @wewininjurylaw to enter.
