Zeh, Ph.D., Dean, Graduate School December 2019 i Abstract B. H. Roberts presented information to the leadership of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in January of 1922 that fundamentally challenged the entire premise of their religious beliefs. New research shows that in addition to church leadership, this information was also presented during the neXt few months to a select group of highly educated Mormon men and women outside of church hierarchy. This group represented many aspects of Mormon belief, different areas of eXpertise, and varying approaches to dealing with challenging information. Their stories create a beautiful tapestry of Mormon life in the transition years from polygamy, frontier life, and resistance to statehood, assimilation, and respectability. A study of the people involved illuminates an important, overlooked, underappreciated, and eXciting period of Mormon history.

The game was nothing like what fans see on the field today as 25 players from each team took the field at the same time to play a game that would be more associated with soccer than modern football. But since 1869, the game has evolved throughout the years, with changes to rules and equipment as well as innovation of how the game is played. Each development has played its role in shaping it into the magnificent sport that is now annually supported by tens of millions of fans. Former BYU head football coach LaVell Edwards spearheaded one of those major developments with his aggressive and innovative passing attack while coaching The college football world is in the midst of celebrating the 150th BYU from 1972-00.
