Everything changed for BYU football when their true freshman quarterback, Bear Bachmeier, tweaked his ankle against Texas Tech last Saturday. The team moved down the field with little resistance on their first possession, but failed to put any more points on the board in every remaining possession.
A 13-7 halftime deficit turned to 34-7 by the end of the game, as turnovers piled up and offensive momentum ground to a halt. For the second time this season, the Cougars fell flat on their faces when up against what Kalani Sitake describes as the best team in America in Texas Tech.
