It's the last Monday before kickoff, and Dave McCann and Blaine Fowler open game week with a season-opener bonanza ahead of No. 14 BYU hosting Utah Tech. Dave and Blaine break down the newly released depth chart — Bear Bachmeier and LJ Martin atop the offense, a veteran-heavy defensive front, and real competition for reps behind the starters — before playing Kalani Sitake's own comments from his first regular-season media day. New BYUtv football analyst Jaren Hall, a former BYU starting quarterback and Minnesota Vikings draft pick, joins the show for his on-air debut, reflecting on the highs and lows of chasing an NFL roster spot, what's impressed him most about Bear Bachmeier, and reliving two of the wildest plays of his own BYU career: forcing the fumble recovery on the infamous Arizona State pick-six-that-wasn't and marveling at Puka Nacua's game-saving catch against Boise State. Volleyball's Elli Mortensen is honored as the Re-Lyte Athlete of the Week after a big weekend in Florida, and Utah Tech play-by-play voice Rod Zundel calls in to detail his Trailblazers' brutal 54-0 loss to defending FCS champion Montana State and to marvel at how quickly BYU has climbed from the WAC to Big 12 contender.
BYU Alumni Association executive director Michael Johanson returns to preview a new home-game tradition called \"Bringing It Home,\" anchored by a September 11 kickoff-week service event in downtown Provo called First Down Provo, plus the alumni association's continuing ice-cream giveaways for visiting fans and its road-game service projects in cities like Fort Collins, Fort Worth, Orlando and Lawrence.
The show closes with two Hotel Park City/Ruth's Chris Super Fan interviews. Brothers Chris and Chad Lamb, whose father Terry Lamb spent years as a KSL television producer and director on BYU broadcasts, reminisce about working as sideline spotters for Dave and Blaine in college and play a round of \"Where Were You?\" running from the 1984 Holiday Bowl through Harvey Unga's 2007 game-winner over Utah. St. George's Chris and Cheryl Nelson then share an unforgettable story about running into BYU legend Vai Sikahema in a hospital elevator while Cheryl was in labor in 1985 — an encounter memorable enough that they later named their son Ty (after Ty Detmer) and their grandson Zach (after Zach Wilson). Both super-fan couples predict a Cougar win over Notre Dame this October, and the show wraps with the Redmond Roots Rollout's look back at BYU and sports history on August 31st.
