- The Holy War is the name given to the American college football rivalry game played annually by the Brigham Young University (BYU) Cougars and the University of Utah (U of U) Utes. It is part of the larger BYU–Utah sports rivalry. In this context, the term "Holy War" refers to the fact that BYU is owned and administered by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) and the University of Utah is a public university with a large LDS student population. The proximity of the two schools, the athletic successes of the two teams, and the longevity of the series all continue to foster the rivalry. Both teams played in the same conference from 1922 to 2010, most recently in the Western Athletic Conference and Mountain West Conference. During the Mountain West years, the Holy War was often the deciding game of the conference title. Despite Utah moving to the Pac-12 Conference in 2011 and BYU becoming an independent the same year, the two universities agreed to continue playing. The series was briefly interrupted in 2014 and 2015 for Utah to play a home-and-home series with Michigan — the first since 1943 to 1945, when BYU did not field a team due to World War II. Games have since been scheduled until 2028—with another interruption in 2022 and 2023 for Utah to play a home series with Florida. The two-year hiatus was unexpectedly cut short when the 2015 Las Vegas Bowl pitted BYU against Utah, creating the "Holy War in Sin City" in the postseason. (en)

- I really hate them. Playing in the game helped me understand. They are the most arrogant people. It's the whole church and state thing. They're the "good kids." We're the "bad kids." I didn't feel it in my gut last year like I do now. (en)
- I'm lucky enough to be one of the many players on the football team that actually has never lost to these bastards, which leads me to end and say this is Utah's world and BYU's living in it. (en)
- Obviously, when you're doing what's right on and off the field, I think the Lord steps in and plays a part in it. Magic happens. (en)
- Even our cheerleaders are kicking your butt. (en)
- All those guys think that's all there is to life. But when I'm making $50–60,000 a year, they'll be pumping my gas. They're low-class losers. (en)
- We never gonna lose to them. They... they so poo-poo. (en)
- I don't like Utah. In fact, I hate them. I hate everything about them. I hate their program, their fans. I hate everything. It felt really good to send those guys home. (en)
- When Brigham Young came into the valley, he pointed to where the University of Utah would be and said, "This is the place." Provo was just an afterthought. (en)
- From now on we're going to leave our flags at home and they should do the same. (en)
- What I hated the most about BYU was getting trounced. (en)
- It was just as easy as it looked. It was like we were running against air. It was easy to break tackles and find holes. Their defense didn't seem to be there. (en)
- The hatred between BYU and Utah is nothing compared to what it will be. It will be a crusade to beat BYU from now on. (en)
- There's too much religion involved. I did not like that. I really didn't. (en)
