BYU's teammates and coaches say they still believe in Bear Bachmeier after a four-interception loss at Utah
The Daily Orem team
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.

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.
