BYU Football fans have a new reason to celebrate—even before the Cougars take a single snap this fall. The much-anticipated return of EA Sports’ college football video game franchise has revealed its early team ratings, and BYU is projected to boast a Top 20 offense in the game, a sign of how far the program has come in recent years.
For Cougar Nation, the news is both a nod to BYU’s explosive real-life playbook and a testament to the program’s reputation for producing high-powered attacks year after year. Known for their aggressive passing schemes and knack for big plays, the Cougars have consistently fielded offenses that keep opposing defenses on their heels—and now that firepower will be at gamers’ fingertips.
“This is just more proof that BYU Football is earning national respect,” said one fan on social media as the rankings leaked. “I can’t wait to sling it around LaVell Edwards Stadium in Dynasty Mode.”
The digital version of the Cougars will reportedly feature high ratings for their quarterback room and wide receiver corps, reflecting the real-life talent that has helped the team compete in high-scoring shootouts since joining the Big 12. Developers have hinted that BYU’s balanced attack, smart play design, and big-arm quarterbacks make them a favorite for players who love airing it out online.
Players will also see authentic stadium details, fan chants, and BYU’s classic navy and white uniforms recreated with stunning next-gen graphics. For alumni and gamers alike, the game is a nostalgic callback and a new way to rep the Y on screens nationwide.
As the new edition gears up for release, BYU’s Top 20 offensive ranking is giving fans plenty to brag about—and plenty of reason to believe that both in the game and on the field, the Cougars are ready to light up scoreboards all season long.
