Overview

• BYU erased a 14-0 first‑quarter deficit and went ahead for good on Cody Hagen’s 32‑yard reverse early in the fourth quarter.
• True freshman Bear Bachmeier went 19-of-27 for 179 yards with two touchdown passes to Chase Roberts and added 98 rushing yards without a turnover.
• Linebacker Isaiah Glasker sealed the win by intercepting Kaidon Salter with 50 seconds remaining after a punt pinned Colorado at its 4‑yard line.
• Colorado’s fast start fizzled as six penalties for 67 yards, a wiped‑out long run, and a 22‑yard third‑down sack undercut Kaidon Salter’s early touchdown run and later TD pass to Dre’lon Miller.
• The Cougars improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12; the Buffaloes fell to 2-3 and 0-2, with BYU hosting West Virginia on Friday and Colorado visiting TCU next Saturday.
