Big Noon Kickoff was in Provo on Saturday morning ahead of the Holy War between No. 23 Utah and host No. 15 BYU. The venue brought back plenty of memories for FOX Sports’ Urban Meyer, who coached at Utah in 2003-04 and guided the program to back-to-back Mountain West titles.
During the episode, Meyer recalled the interest he garnered from Florida immediately after he led Utah to a thrilling 52-51 victory vs. BYU in 2004.
“I was driving home from a rivalry game against the Cougars…” Meyer said. “The athletic director from the University of Florida said ‘we’re coming after you.'”
