SDSU-BYU Moved to Sept. 22

San Diego State’s Western Athletic Conference football game against Brigham Young in Provo, Utah, has been moved to Sept. 22 to accommodate CBS, which will broadcast the game to part of the country. Kickoff will be 11:30 a.m.

The game was originally scheduled for Oct. 20, but Fred Miller, SDSU athletic director, said CBS convinced the schools to make the switch so it could showcase quarterbacks Dan McGwire of SDSU and Ty Detmer of BYU. Detmer was second in the nation in total offense in 1989, McGwire fifth.

The game will be the first non-cable, network television appearance for SDSU since Oct. 1, 1983, when it tied Hawaii, 27-27, on CBS.
