Utah Tech TrailblazersvsBYU Cougars
UTU 7/BYU 63
Things to say
BYU blew out Utah Tech 63-7 at LaVell Edwards Stadium.
01
opener
Yeah, that one was over by the first quarter. BYU just steamrolled Utah Tech 63-7. Never in doubt.
02
key player
Bear Bachmeier was surgical. 16-of-20, 198 and three touchdowns, and he barely broke a sweat before they pulled him.
03
hot take
Honestly the score flatters Utah Tech. They couldn't move the ball at all until BYU was already emptying the bench.
04
deep cut
The real backbreaker was Cannon DeVries taking a kickoff back 100 yards. When you're giving up special teams touchdowns too, it's just not your night.
05
exit
Anyway, tune-up game. The real test is when the conference schedule picks up — that's when we'll actually learn something.
The recap
BYU turned this into a track meet before Utah Tech ever got comfortable, hanging 42 unanswered and cruising to a 63-7 laugher at LaVell Edwards. Bear Bachmeier was surgical — 16-of-20 for 198 and three scores, two of them to Legend Glasker, plus a rushing touchdown of his own.
Cannon DeVries took a kickoff back 100 yards to make it a full-on clinic, and by the time Ace Chatman punched in Utah Tech's lone touchdown, it was deep garbage time. The Trailblazers couldn't move the ball all night, and BYU opens 1-0 without breaking a sweat.
