2025-26 College football season

It’s an insult to Bear to say he is good “for a true freshman.” He's just good. Great, even. Bachmeier is top 25 nationally in passer rating and in the top third of all quarterbacks in ESPN’s QBR. He is the first quarterback in BYU history to account for 10 total touchdowns and 0 turnovers in his first 4 career starts.

Saturday he accounted for 283 total yards before kneel downs and 2 touchdowns. What the box score won’t tell you, though, is just how unfazed he looks by adversity.

When BYU went down 14-0, Bachmeier led a 65-yard field goal drive in which he accounted for 63 total yards. When BYU needed a touchdown to cut the lead to one possession before half, Bachmeier led a 95-yard TD drive that ended in a 5-yard strike to Roberts. BYU earned its first lead on a 4th and goal TD pass where Bear navigated the pocket to find an open Roberts. On BYU’s drive to put them ahead for good in the fourth quarter, Bachmeier accounted for 50 total yards, including the 16-yard run on 3rd and 17 to keep the drive alive.

This kid is going to win a lot of games at BYU. He probably will this year too. Whatever “it” looks like, he has it.
 
There has never, in BYU history, been a QB to have 10 TD's and zero turnovers through 4 games of a season. Until the true freshman Bear this season.
 
Interesting stats:

BYU has scored in 27 quarters in a row. That is a program record.

BYU is top 10 in rushing yards per game, yards per carry, rushing yards allowed per game, and rushing yards allowed per carry.
 
Also, the offense has yet to turn the ball over. Special teams has one fumble and that's the only turnover for the season

You gotta watch tonight's game.
First true night game of the season for BYU. The vampire cougars are a whole different animal and the show that BYU puts on for night games are 2nd to none.

As Kalani would say, West Virginia don't know, but they are about to find out.

Last nights game was sloppy. Another positive streak was ended (last week byu missed a FG after 25 made in a row) as the BYU offense had their first turnover of the season..... and then had a couple more. In addition to the turnovers, BYU committed 10 penalties. Also, second week in a row that BYU didn't cover the spread. Biggest concern from last night was a serious looking injury to who is arguably BYU best defensive player. Jack Kelly. Kearns kid. If that injury is serious then he is HUGE loss. Dude was going to be a high nfl draft pick.

Despite the sloppy play it was an easy win that BYU dominated. So far this season I have felt that BYU has an amazing defense, amazing special teams, and very good coaches. I have been concerned about the offense and specifically the passing game. Lasts night went a long way to alleviating that concern. Bear looked extremely good running and throwing the ball. Career high 351 yards. Dropping dimes all over the place. He was fantastic.

2 streaks continued last night: BYU has now scored in 31 straight quarters of play. That is the longest streak in the country. And of course, 5-0.

I think next weeks game against AZ on the road will be a win. Then play Utah at home which will be a very very tough game but I will give BYU a slight edge in that one due to homefield. Then a bye week giving BYU 2 weeks to prepare for a very very good Iowa State team (currently ranked #14) on the road, followed by going to 11th ranked texas tech and then a very good TCU team in provo. Im hoping that BYU is 8-2 or 7-3 after that stretch. If so, they should have a good chance at winning the final 2 games (TCU and UCF) and finishing 10-2 or 9-3 and having a decent chance at playing for a conference championship. Or they fall apart and finish 7-5 lol (worst case scenario imo). I would be ok with an 8-4 season. Quite happy with 9-3. Ecstatic with 10-2.
