Bachmeier Runs for 7-Yard TD in Second OT, No. 18 BYU Beats Arizona 33-27 to Stay Undefeated
BYU remained undefeated with a 33-27 win after overcoming a 75-minute lightning delay caused by Hurricane Priscilla's remnants, with freshman Bear Bachmeier scoring twice in double overtime.
- On Saturday, BYU Cougars stayed undefeated with a 33-27 double-overtime win over Arizona Wildcats, marking their sixth straight victory to open the season.
- Hurricane Priscilla's remnants produced lightning and thunderstorms that halted play for roughly 75 minutes early in the second quarter in Arizona, with forecasters predicting 1-2 inches of rain and a flood watch.
- Freshman quarterback Bear Bachmeier threw for 172 yards and rushed for 89 yards with two rushing touchdowns, while LJ Martin, running back, rushed for 162 yards and scored a touchdown.
- At 6:52 Mountain Time, the game entered a weather delay of at least 30 minutes, and a 7:25 PM Mountain Time lightning strike reset the delay clock while fans were allowed back.
- Inclement weather had been forecast since the beginning of the week, and the rain might affect Arizona quarterback Noah Fifita's passing edge, which has been the Wildcats' calling card in recent years.
