Freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier powered the comeback with two touchdown throws plus 98 rushing yards to launch BYU’s Big 12 campaign unbeaten.

Overview

  • Cody Hagen’s 32-yard reverse early in the fourth quarter provided the go-ahead score after BYU erased an early 14-0 deficit.
  • Linebacker Isaiah Glasker sealed the win by intercepting Kaidon Salter with 50 seconds remaining.
  • BYU outgained Colorado 387-291, pounded out 208 rushing yards, and held the ball for more than 33 minutes.
  • Colorado’s fast start faded as the offense stalled, penalties reached six for 67 yards, and fans later questioned late-game clock management.
  • The Cougars improved to 4-0 overall and 1-0 in the Big 12; Colorado fell to 2-3 and 0-2, with BYU hosting West Virginia on Friday and CU visiting TCU next Saturday.
