No. 8 BYU beats Iowa State 24-10 as Bear Bachmeier throws for 329 yards
Provo, Utah (AP) — Quarterback Bear Bachmeier engineered a dominant performance, throwing for 329 yards and two scores, as No. 8 BYU edged out Iowa State 24-10 on Friday night. The Utah-based university's team overcame the absence of running back LJ Martin, who is sidelined. Bachmeier's passing accuracy was nearly perfect, connecting on 73% of his passes.
In addition to his aerial assault, the senior ran for a school-record 109 yards, marking his second straight 300-yard passing game against Iowa State and his first career 100-yard performance on the ground. Jaylen Raynor contributed 98 passing yards and a touchdown for the Cyclones, while Aiden Flora amassed 86 rushing yards. BYU's defense proved equally crucial, limiting Iowa State's rushing attempts to only six yards in the second quarter, allowing just 0.5 yards per play.
