By Katerina Gasset

Hey sports fans and Provo enthusiasts! The Provo hometown love for football is apparent in the fans at the games. .Let's huddle up and talk about the recent face-off where BYU took on Oklahoma right here in Provo, Utah. Sure, the scoreboard didn't smile on BYU this time, but there's so much more to this game than just the final score.

First off, let’s set the scene at LaVell Edwards Stadium, nestled in the heart of Provo. This place isn't just a stadium; it's like a giant family room for football fans. The energy was electric, the crowd was buzzing, and the mountains made for a picture-perfect football Saturday.

Now, about the game – it was a nail-biter! BYU and Oklahoma clashed in a showdown that was more than just a battle of plays; it was a display of sheer determination. Yeah, turnovers did put BYU in a tough spot, and we ended up on the short end of a 31-28 score. But let me tell you, the Cougars showed some serious grit out there.

Oklahoma University's Preparation

What caught my eye was how Oklahoma prepared for the altitude in Provo. They brought in oxygen equipment to keep their players in top form. Talk about commitment! It's a testament to how unique playing in Provo can be – our city's elevation isn't just a backdrop; it's part of the game.

Despite the loss, BYU fans kept the spirit sky-high. They cheered, groaned, and lived every moment of the game. And let's not forget the social media buzz – the online world was alight with chatter about the game, from awe at the stunning setting to admiration for the players' hustle.

Let's break it down:

  • Stunning Venue: LaVell Edwards Stadium, with its mountain views, is a gem.
  • Game Highlights: A close game with moments of brilliance from BYU.
  • Oklahoma's Strategy: Using oxygen to combat Provo’s altitude – smart move!
  • Fan Energy: Unbeatable spirit and passion from the BYU crowd.

I couldn't help but feel proud of our city and our team. Sure, we didn't win, but games like these are about more than just points. They're about community, the thrill of the game, and showcasing our beautiful Provo to visitors.

And speaking of Provo, let’s give a shoutout to our city. Whether it's the stunning natural beauty, the friendly folks, or the vibrant community spirit, Provo is more than just a backdrop for great football; it's a place that brings people together.

About the author of Move to Provo Utah Website 

Katerina Gasset

When I moved here I was blessed to have my daughter to help with different things you need to know when you move to a new place. I had background from living here before but things have changed a lot too since the '80s. 

We were able to get all the good places to eat down fast - since she knows all that and we have a lot of the same likes in food. But things like how to turn on my electricity or what power company services my home... well... I was at a total loss! 

I know that other people moving to Provo don't always have family here to guide and help them. And most people don't have a real estate agent who gives them a welcome package on all the important numbers and places they need to know. 

My goal is for this website to be your go to resource for everything you need to know before, during, and after you move here to Provo, Utah. I want you to have the best experience and love living here as much as I do
