Battle of the Brothers

Battle of the Brothers

The Battle of the Brothers is the name given to the annual intercollegiate football game between the teams of Utah State University and the University of Utah. It also may be used to refer to the annual basketball game between these two schools.

The most notable feature of this rivalry is its lengthy history - dating all the way back to 1892. Since that initial meeting, the schools have played over one hundred games - meeting nearly every season. Additionally, Utah and Utah State have not competed in the same conference since 1961, meaning each meeting since then has been a voluntary non-conference game.

, no meeting has been played on Thanksgiving Day; and more recently, the meeting has been held in September as one of the first games of the season for either team.

In the 1970s, the University of Utah and its fans turned their sights towards Brigham Young University as their biggest rival, and the Holy War is now generally considered to be the main rivalry game in the state of Utah. But while Utah leads their series against Utah State by an overwhelming margin, the Battle of the Brothers remains a staple of each teams' annual non-conference schedule.
