Future Games
A deal has been worked out to play the game in 2013 and 2016, but the game will not be played in 2014 and 2015. 2014–2015 will be the first interruption in the series since 1943 to 1945, when BYU did not field a team due to World War II. Pointing to Utah's 9 game PAC-12 conference schedule and a home and home series with the Michigan Wolverines in 2014 and 2015, Utah's athletic director Chris Hill cited concerns about "over-scheduling" as the primary reason for the two year Holy War intermission. No games are currently scheduled after 2016.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or games:
“As a child is indulged or checked in its early follies, a ground is generally laid for the happiness or misery of the future man.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play. After all, national conventions are games of a sort, and sports offers few spectacles richer in low comedy.”
—Walter Wellesley (Red)
