Wide receiver Gunner Romney, on day 1 of BYU Football Fall Camp, on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2022.Ed Lamb heard about it ad nauseam this summer. About how the team just 30 miles north of him was preparing at length, almost a comical length, for the Florida heat.Utah was practicing in its indoor practice facility, cranking up the heat and pumping in steam“We thought about doing that, but decided not to do it,” the assistant coach said about BYU’s own preparation for playing in Tampa against USF.
For BYU, the challenge of playing in Florida isn’t unfamiliar. Whereas Utah hasn’t played a game in the Eastern time zone since 2014, BYU routinely travels from coast-to-coast with its independent schedule. Sitake feels like the experience with these trips has refined the team’s approach to a game like this. The team will travel two days early, giving themselves an extra day to practice in the conditions and adjust to the time zone. It is the standard practice of an NFL team to leave 48 hours in advance of a cross-country trip.
The temperatures for a 4 p.m. local kickoff are expected to be around 92 degrees with 70% humidity. Scattered thunderstorms are also likely to roll in, with rain a heavy possibility.
