BYU Blasts TCU 44–13 to Rebound From Texas Tech Loss and Revive CFP Push

The rout restored momentum in the Big 12 race, keeping a path to the playoff alive.

Overview

  • BYU rolled up 447 yards, scored on its first seven possessions, and did not punt until 10:44 remained at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
  • Freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier went 23-for-33 for 296 yards with one passing touchdown and added 59 rushing yards with a score.
  • BYU’s defense limited TCU to 298 yards, held the Frogs to 1-for-10 on third down, and sealed things with Tanner Wall’s 68-yard interception return.
  • The win snapped a five-game skid to TCU, delivered BYU’s first home victory over the Frogs since 2007, and marked the program’s largest margin over that rival.
  • Now 9-1 and No. 12 in the CFP rankings, BYU faces Cincinnati on the road and UCF at home, with reports noting a potential first-round CFP home game if the Cougars win out and results break their way.
