Summary
- BYU's 1:30 p.m. kickoff allows for football and trick-or-treating.

The timing of the BYU-Arizona State football game offers a unique Halloween treat for fans. Scheduled for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff on Fox, the game allows for a full day of football followed by evening trick-or-treating. This prime slot is a testament to BYU's strong 6-1 record and No. 8 national ranking, boosted by a recent victory that drew significant television viewership.
Arizona State, with a 4-3 record, faces a formidable task. The Sun Devils will start true freshmen at quarterback and running back against a BYU team that boasts a strong home-field advantage, particularly in nighttime games where they have a remarkable winning streak. The Cougars' recent performances suggest they are focused and re-energized for this matchup.
The game's schedule contrasts with previous Halloween games, such as the 2020 contest played with limited spectators. This year's afternoon game promises a full stadium and a harmonious celebration of both football and the holiday, reminiscent of a sweet treat like a Milk Dud.
