Overview
- BYU beat Cincinnati 26-14 on the road at Nippert Stadium, improving to 10-1 and 7-2 in Big 12 play.
- LJ Martin totaled 266 yards (222 rushing) on 32 carries with two touchdowns, including a 33-yard score in the final minute.
- Freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier went 15-of-25 for 127 yards, added 46 rushing yards and a touchdown, and top receiver Chase Roberts exited early.
- The Cougars forced key stops with a Tanner Wall interception and an Isaiah Glasker fumble recovery as Cincinnati missed three field goals and failed on fourth-and-1 near the goal line.
- BYU can clinch a Big 12 championship game berth with a win over UCF or if Arizona State loses to Arizona, and its at-large CFP hopes remain dependent on other results.
