If you watched BYU's rivalry game at Utah Saturday, you saw Bear Bachmeier's roughest day: four interceptions in BYU's loss at No. 3 Utah. His teammates are standing by him. "I know Bear. I know the character he has. I know he's going to bounce back, and it's not just his fault," said center Bruce Mitchell.

Coach Kalani Sitake said Monday that "the bulk of it is on the quarterback, and nobody's harder on him than he is himself right now." He added, "I believe in his talents."

  • Kickoff: Sat., Nov. 14, 1:30 p.m. vs. Baylor on FOX 13
  • Baylor: 6-3, 4-2 in the Big 12
  • Big 12: two games behind Utah, one behind 8-1 Texas Tech
  • Returning: LJ Martin ran seven times, with a 4-yard touchdown

The loss made BYU's path to the 12-team College Football Playoff tougher. The field will grow to 24 teams in 2027. "I wish there were 24 this year," Sitake said with a chuckle.
