Sept. 4 is well before classes start, and the game will be 11 am local time.  There's no reason not to get acclimated in time.

Neither ASU nor Utah have a bye either before their Friday night game against us either.  Obviously, it is tougher to go on the road for a Friday game, but at least we will have home games the week before.

At least: no home games before students start school.  Our schedule is backloaded with home games.  We have our bye week midway through, ahead of an important game against a division rival.

That being said, I still look at that schedule and have a very hard time finding 6 wins.

Teams scheduled to play on the road on Friday night are either given a bye or scheduled to play at home the week before.  This change was made several years ago after a number of coaches complained that it provided an unfair advantage for the host of the Friday game.
