BYU will honor its 1976 football team during Saturday's game against Arizona, recognizing the squad Deseret News calls "the team that changed college football." The 1976 Cougars pioneered offensive innovations that reshaped the sport and launched BYU's rise to national prominence.

The ceremony comes 50 years after the team's season. The 1976 roster included players and coaches whose careers influenced college football strategy for decades.

The halftime recognition is part of BYU's ongoing celebration of program history as it competes in its second Big 12 season.
