flag football

BYU has a number of intramural sports for students to join throughout the semester, from water polo to badminton. Hundreds of female students signed up to play flag football.

A select group of students on campus want to be judged by their appearance. They're usually just wearing t-shirts and jeans, or even sweats, but they walk with the confidence of someone dressed to the nines.

The turning point for Jacob Brock, player-coach of one of flag football's fastest-rising teams on campus, was a semester quarterbacking his ward team and losing every game. Brock doesn't fault his ward for putting together a casual team for fun, but he decided that a little organization, strategy and trickery could propel an otherwise average group of guys to a strong record.

There’s the BYU vs. Utah rivalry, the Army vs. Navy rivalry and the Thundercats vs. Cowgirls rivalry.

The fall 2013 intramural season has started, and the campus-wide hunt for each sport's ultimate prize is underway.
