  "account": "BYU football faces Arizona this weekend in their first Big 12 matchup, with the Wildcats looking to build on their recent success. Kalani Sitake's team, who won a 63-7 game against Utah Tech, will be tested by Arizona's formidable rushing attack. Arizona's coach, Brent Brennan, acknowledges the difficulty of containing the duo of Bear Bachmeier and LJ Martin, who are known for their playmaking skills and endurance. The Arizona coach hopes his team can bring their fighting spirit from previous losses, particularly the one in 2024, to this road game. Sitake, who had a personal connection with Brennan through their time at Oregon State, praises his former neighbor and coach for his talent and sportsmanship. The BYU team, favored for this matchup, will kick off at LaVell Edwards Stadium at 3:30 p.m. ET on FOX.",
