Rivalry History
The Bluebonnet Battle, also known as the Revivalry, is an annual tradition that the TCU Horned Frogs have mostly controlled in the late 2010s and early 2020s, though the Baylor Bears had some impressive victories in the mid-2010s.
On October 11, 2014, No. 9 TCU and No. 5 Baylor had an even first three quarters. Then, TCU jumped out to a 58-37 lead with fewer than 12 minutes remaining in the game. In short order, Baylor quarterback Bryce Petty led the Bears back with three touchdowns and a last-second field goal. Baylor kicker Chris Callahan made the 28-yard field goal with time expiring to complete the unbelievable comeback and the 61-58 victory over TCU.
Then in 2015, No. 7 Baylor held leads of 7-0 and 14-7, but No. 19 TCU kept coming back. The score was tied at 14 apiece at halftime. Neither team scored in the second half. In the first overtime, the teams matched each other with short touchdowns. Then in the second overtime, it was TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin who completed an eight-yard touchdown pass to KaVontae Turpin to win the game.
The 2019 Bluebonnet Battle was between an unranked TCU team and No. 12 Baylor. The Horned Frogs entered the game with a 4-4 record while Baylor attempted to preserve its undefeated season. At first, the game seemed like a low-scoring one, as there were only field goals scored during regulation time. TCU scored the first nine points of the game, but Baylor came back and forced overtime with a 51-yard field goal. Then in overtime, Charlie Brewer ran for a touchdown and threw two touchdowns to Denzel Mims en route to a 29-23 victory.

In 2015, the Kansas State Wildcats defeated the Iowa State Cyclones, 38-35. Iowa State jumped out to a big lead after scoring 28 points in the second quarter. Iowa State led by 21 points at halftime, but Kansas State stepped up and did not allow a point for the rest of the game. After three second-half touchdowns, the Wildcat defense stepped up and forced the third Iowa State fumble of the game. Then, Kansas State kicker Jack Cantele made a 42-yard field goal with just three seconds left in the game. The kick won the game for the Wildcats, 38-35.
On October 29, 2016, the Wildcats and Cyclones played for the 100th time, and Kansas State won, 31-26. The Wildcats won again in 2017, marking the 10th straight time that they beat the Cyclones.

BYU vs. Utah
- Rivalry Began: April 6, 1896 at Utah
- Rivalry Name: Holy War

- 2013 Week 4 Utah 20-BYU 13
- 2016 Week 2 Utah 20-BYU 19
- 2019 Week 1 Utah 30-BYU 12
Rivalry History
Utah has a sizable advantage over the years in the Holy War, as the Utes have dominated many of the contests and did not lose at all during the 2010s.
In 2013, Utah won, 20-13, against Taysom Hill and the BYU Cougars. Utah shut out BYU in the first half. Then, the Cougars battled back in the second half, but Utah quarterback Travis Wilson and the Utes offense were too strong. Wilson threw for 273 passing yards and two touchdowns on the way to the seven-point win.
In 2016, Utah won a very close game against BYU. Taysom Hill was back at quarterback for the Cougars, and he had multiple touchdown runs. With BYU trailing by seven points, Hill scored his second touchdown with 18 seconds remaining in the game. BYU missed on its two-point conversion attempt, and the Utes won, 20-19.
The 2019 Holy War game was between No. 14 Utah and unranked BYU. It marked the 100th meeting between the squads, and Utah dominated for its ninth straight victory against BYU. The Utes won, 30-12, and had two interception return touchdowns. Zack Moss also had a great game on the ground, as he ran for 187 yards and a touchdown.
