Former BYU & NFL LB Brady Poppinga joined @espnthefan to break down how BYU's offense has bounced back after the defense had them 'out of whack':
Q: How would you describe the offense versus the defense battle going back to spring and through fall thus far? Obviously, the offense won the day on Saturday. How competitive has it been between these two units?
Brady: Well, if you go back to spring, I watch every practice rep with the first team. If I was calling it aesthetically, I thought during spring the offense got us. That had to do with guys like [Cade] Uluave—number four, kind of new. It's spring, guys are still recovering. Glasker wasn't out there. But Bear was still in rhythm. His rhythm from the Georgia Tech game, and the Texas Tech game before he got hurt, carried over. He got into a flow when he knew he had no legs against Georgia Tech, and he's been throwing the ball so well. People underestimate how well he throws because of his size and his ability to run. So I thought the offense got us in spring ball.
Then the first few practices of fall, the defense had our offense really out of whack, really causing problems. For the first two practices, they completed less than 50% of their passes versus our first-team defense. It was rough. The defense was just one step ahead—knocking balls down, batting passes, getting pressure. Finally, about the middle of the last week, the offense started coming back, adapting, and figuring it out. Then they really emerged on Saturday. Today's practice kind of went back to the middle again. It's fun. These two units are really good. They push each other, and you have to earn it on either side when you make plays. But like I said, we don't know what this is all going to look like until we start playing against everybody else.

BYU Studio Host & PxP Matt Baiamonte joined @espnthefan to break down his confidence in BYU's QB depth:
Q: How do we feel about QB2? I know contingency plans aren't what we like to talk about, but I'm always concerned about QB2. Who's the backup if Bear needs to take a breather or if he gets rolled up by a 400-pound defensive lineman?
Matt: That's a great question. I actually spoke to QB2 today—at least who we think is going to be QB2—Treyson Bourguet. I had a great conversation with him. I am comfortable with him as a backup. He doesn't have the ceiling that Bear has, for sure, and he's not as mobile as Bear, but he's been in Provo for three years now. He has a tremendous command of the offense, and he can make all the throws that Bear can make.
The thing that I like about Treyson—and I believed this before my conversation but am even more resolute in it now—is that he's a tremendous leader. He's a huge asset in the locker room. He builds people up. He's a really positive guy. If he were to come into a situation where Bear did get banged up (Heaven forbid that happen), he has in-game experience. I know it's been a minute, but he has played before. The coaches have to like him because they keep bringing him back. In today's college football, if you don't think a guy is good enough for your program, you just tell him to hit the portal. But Aaron Roderick and the staff have kept him around. So I am comfortable with him being called upon as QB2.
And then for QB3, I like his upside as well. Maybe if you do have to go to Treyson Bourguet, there's a wildcat package or something to take advantage of Enoch Watson's running and athleticism. Bear is special and is going to have a great year, and losing him would be hard, but I do think Treyson Bourguet is more than capable of being an above-average college football backup quarterback.

USA Today's Jordan Mendoza says Bear Bachmeier has a chance to be among the best quarterbacks in the country:
"Not just an elite name, but a proven quarterback. You wouldn't have guessed Bachmeier was thrust as BYU's starter as a true freshman. The Big 12 offensive freshman of the year did it all for the Cougars, throwing for 3,033 yards and rushing for 527 yard with 26 total touchdowns in nearly getting his team to the playoff. He is one of the toughest quarterbacks in the league, not afraid of contact and can run over defenders.
His arm is already solid, and if continues to build on his throwing, he has the chance to be among the best quarterbacks in the country."

Former BYU QB Riley Nelson joined @espnthefan to break down how Bear Bachmeier can improve throwing distance:
Ben: Let's talk a little bit about your transition from 2011 to 2012. Going into that season, you were trying to improve your arm strength. I think Bear Bachmeier has done the same thing going into this season. He's got a solid arm, but I think he wanted to get a little bit more involved in the vertical passing game. Sometimes his trajectory comes out a little low. The ball has to come out quick and drop in at about 40 or 45 yards downfield; he's not built to throw 60-yard bombs, but he's an accurate intermediate passer. What did you do leading up to your 2012 season to generate more torque and increase your vertical passing? I thought you were throwing the ball well heading into 2012 before you got injured.
Riley: Ideally, you want to be able to drop it 40 yards downfield, but it's rare that you actually get to take a three-step drop and throw it on time without at least some kind of shuffle in the pocket. To put it 55 yards in the air in a game, you gotta be able to throw it 65 yards at max effort. So I took a page from baseball, and I did football long toss.
Two things happened. One, by the time I was a senior at BYU, my weights were such that going any further was probably counterproductive. My squat was about 475, my clean was 330, and my bench was too high—I probably shouldn't have been benching as heavy as I was. So my raw strength was already there. Bear, who is only 20, is still growing into his body, so continuing to build that core strength is important for him.
For me, because my strength was maxed out, I went to baseball. Baseball arm strength is built largely via long toss. Weighted balls and bands are most efficiently used as injury prevention because the implement isn't the same as what you use in competition, and bands can never replicate the stress placed on the joints throughout the entire arc of the throwing motion. Long toss requires whole-body recruitment—kinematic sequencing and force generation from the feet up.
My max throw was about 58 to 59 yards at the end of my junior year, and I needed to get it out to 65. I got to 63 consistently mostly through doing long toss three times a week.
The second biggest thing was my reps. Up to that point, my reps were based in the BYU West Coast offense. We were running stick routes, halfback options, sail concepts, option routes out of the slot, corners, and posts. We didn't really throw a lot of "gos". At the time, Cover 6 was the predominant coverage in college football, which protects against the deep ball. We hardly called any deep shots out of the base offense under Bronco Mendenhall.
So what I had to do that summer in player-run practices was completely flip the script. We used to start with our high-efficiency, short-to-intermediate passing game for 40 minutes, and then at the end when guys were out of gas, we'd throw two or three deep routes. I flipped it. We started with the deep routes at the beginning of practice. I probably 3x'd my number of throws deep down the field and got more comfortable with the timing, body positioning, and nuances. But I only had that luxury because I had been in the system for three years and felt I had a really good foundation in the short-to-intermediate game.

Former BYU WR Jared Bledsoe joined @espnthefan and says Evan Johnson had high praise for Bear Bachmeier and BYU's offense:
Q: What do you remember about the back-and-forth of fall camp between the offense and defense? Is it much ado about nothing when one team dominates another in a live scrimmage?
Jared: Well, the interesting thing to me is that all summer the focus has been on the offense, right? Everyone was asking who's gonna step up at wide receiver. It's been about the offense the entire time. Then all of a sudden, we have a scrimmage, the offense plays well, and now everyone's questioning the defense! You've got a solid defense.
Let me tell you this: last week I was talking to Evan Johnson, and we were just talking about how things are going and what's coming up. His comments about Bear just kind of blew me away—just how positive he is about what Bear is going to be able to do, and with A-Rod being able to open everything up. They're just confident in each other. It's really cool. So I'm not worried about it at all.
Typically going into camp, the defense is better in the beginning because you're making calls, you're making reads, and you're doing the same thing you've always done, maybe just with some different instruction. On offense, a lot of times you have a lot of new guys coming in, so everyone's trying to gel. It was different back in my day because we weren't working out all summer and running things the way they do now. But especially with the amount of guys we have coming back, it wasn't as hard for everybody to get assimilated into the program.
When you have a really good offense and an elite defense, some days the offense is gonna play better and some days the defense will. That's just how these scrimmages go. I'd say it's super positive. The fact that we know what we have in our defense and our offense kind of walked on them in a scrimmage—that's great news. I don't think there's anything negative to look at there, and I think the defense is gonna be just fine.

Former BYU & NFL LB Brady Poppinga joined @espnthefan to break down the MVPs from the Saturday scrimmage:
What are you hearing about the scrimmage? Who stood out? Who are the MVPs of the LaVell Edwards scrimmage?
Brady: Bear [Bachmeier]—was phenomenal. He had a magnificent scrimmage. He didn't really run it because you can't tackle him, but it's stuff that I've seen before. If they would do those quarterback draws, it's so funny because you get these defenders who come in from the side thinking they've got him, and in the scrimmage they're just tagging off. But you cannot tackle him from the side; you've got to square your hips up. That was just the icing on the cake. He had some throws—like he had a throw where he's on the left hash, throws it all the way across the field over outstretched arms, into a tight window into the hands of Legend Glasker. I mean, a sweet out route. That's indefensible.
I thought our offensive line was really good. They moved us, they hooked us, and the defensive guys were getting moved. I think our defense kind of took one to the chops. This happens during training camp; it kind of goes back and forth. Overall, from the first practice until the scrimmage, if you evaluated each day on who won, I would say the defense probably won more of those first practice days than the offense. But for sure, the offense was in control in that scrimmage. I find that to be very encouraging personally because that's how you want it to be. If one unit is continually overpowering the other, you kind of question, "Man, are we gonna be okay?"
The plays that the offense did make in the passing game were earned plays. When they tackled in the scrimmage, it was only for a drive or two. The offense had to be really good—precisely thrown balls, precisely run routes, good blocking. They weren't flukes or gimmes. At the same time, the defense literally has to be able to get the guy on the ground, and that's a good thing because it shows how good our offense is. Even with LJ [Martin], he didn't play during the tackling phase, so when he's in there getting tagged up, you just don't know if that corner is gonna be able to take him down. We've seen him enough to know what will happen—which is most likely they won't, or it will take two or three guys, and he'll power through for another 5-10 yards. So it was a good back-and-forth. It's been that way through camp, and we have a good team. We'll just have to see how we compare to everybody else.

2027 Big 12 Baseball Conference Schedule Announced
The Big 12 Conference has announced its 2027 baseball league schedule. Each program will play 10 of the 13 possible opponents for a total of 30 Conference games.
Conference play will begin March 18 and conclude the weekend of May 21. While most series are scheduled for Friday-Sunday, games involving BYU and the season’s final series are scheduled Thursday through Saturday. In addition, teams may move the March 26-28 series to March 25-27 by mutual agreement.
The 2027 Big 12 Baseball Tournament presented by Allstate will return to Surprise Stadium, the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals and Texas Rangers, and will be held May 25-29 in Surprise, Arizona. The top 12 teams in the regular season standings will compete in the tournament. Kansas won the 2026 Big 12 Baseball Tournament to become the first Big 12 member to win both the regular season title outright and the tournament trophy in the same season since 2009.
The Big 12 sent six teams to the 2026 NCAA Division I Baseball Championship, extending the Conference’s streak to five consecutive seasons and the 23rd time in 29 seasons that the league has earned five or more bids.
Kansas and West Virginia gave the Conference two super regional hosts for the first time since 2021. The Mountaineers advanced to the NCAA Men’s College World Series for the first time in program history to mark the 11th time in the last 12 postseasons that the Big 12 has sent at least one team to Omaha. Five current members (Arizona, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech and West Virginia) have reached the event in that span.

BYU studio host and PxP Matt Baiamonte joined @espnthefan to give his biggest takeaways from watching BYU fall camp:
Q: What do you see, what do you like, and what are you hearing on the BYU Cougar football front?
Matt: What I like the most, and what has become blatantly obvious to me, is that their starting quarterback, sophomore Bear Bachmeier, has taken a step forward.
We saw some reps from him today at the media observation period, and I thought his ability to command the football was great. We saw a variety of different types of throws from him—touch passes, screen passes, out routes that needed to be on a dart, needed to be on a frozen rope. I think we saw it all.
He just looks so much more comfortable than he did last year. He looks to be in complete command of the offense. Aaron Roderick said as much today to the media. He spoke glowingly about Bear Bachmeier, and everything he said is what I've seen in person. He looks a little leaner; he just looks great. I won't sugarcoat it, Ben, I'm expecting big things from him this year. If he has the type of year that I think he can have, and a lot of others think he can have, we could very well be looking at one of the most special seasons in BYU football.

BYU RELEASES 2027 BIG 12 SOFTBALL SCHEDULE
PROVO, Utah — In conjunction with the Big 12, BYU softball released its 24-game conference schedule for 2027 on Thursday afternoon.
The Cougars will welcome Baylor, Arizona, Utah and Oklahoma State to Provo next season, with road trips to Arizona State, Kansas, UCF and Iowa State.
BYU will also receive a second-week Big 12 bye for the third consecutive season. The Cougars will not face Texas Tech or Houston in 2027.
League play will run from March 11 through May 8, with the Big 12 Softball Tournament presented by Allstate scheduled for May 13-15 at OGE Field at Devon Park in Oklahoma City.
The tournament will once again feature an eight-team, single-elimination bracket, with the bottom three teams at the end of the regular season eliminated from contention.
The Cougars, who return 10 student-athletes from 2026 and welcome 15 newcomers to the squad, will look to return to both the conference tournament and NCAA Tournament after missing the conference tournament last year and the NCAA Tournament the last five seasons.

Former BYU QB Riley Nelson joined @espnthefan and gave a baseball analogy to break down his expectations for Bear this season:
Q: What type of productivity do you expect from Bear Bachmeier in year two? Last year he eclipsed 3,000 yards through the air, 500 on the ground, and tallied a ton of touchdowns. What do you expect this year?
Riley: I'll use a reference people know. I think he will be equally as great—actually, more great—but there will be some in the fan base that are going to be critical because not every single metric will go up. Some metrics will go down. For my baseball fans out there, it's a little bit like what's going on with Shohei Ohtani at the plate. They shut him down from pitching—where he had a 1.79 ERA, was 8-2, and had the lowest WHIP in the MLB—and at the bat, he's on pace for low-40s home runs, which is middle-of-the-pack for his production. People say, "Oh, Ohtani's falling off." But if you draw a line through the middle of his production over time, it's up and to the right.
I think we're going to see that same thing with Bear Bachmeier. I don't know exactly what metrics might wane and what ones might wax, but we're going to sit back at the end of the season and the net result is going to be: man, he took a meaningful step forward.

A SPECIAL SHOUTOUT TO PATRICK FLANAGAN AND HIS SON WADE 💙🤙
I received a message from Wade Allman, a longtime listener and big supporter of our show, who asked if we could give a shoutout to his good friend Patrick Flanagan and Patrick’s son, Wade.
Wade and Patrick met when they were deployed together in Iraq in 2002-03. Patrick is about as die-hard a Cougar as you’ll ever find, but he married into a Utah family.
While Patrick was deployed, his father-in-law started taking his then 3-year-old son Wade to Utah football games, buying him Utah helmets and jerseys.
Much to Patrick’s horror, his little boy became a die-hard Ute. 😂
For years, Patrick would go to Wade Allman’s house to watch BYU games, while his son wanted nothing to do with the Cougars.
Then his son served a mission and decided to attend BYU.
The prodigal son returned. 😂
He became a full-blown Cougar, which, as you can imagine, brought his dad a lot of joy.
Last year, though, Wade began having pain in his side and was eventually diagnosed with cancer. He’s only 26 years old and has been undergoing chemotherapy since just after Christmas.
Even while battling cancer, he continued watching the Cougars last season. Some games he’d be on the couch cheering, fall asleep from everything his body was going through, then wake back up and keep watching.
So as another BYU football season approaches, we’re sending some Cougar love to Patrick, Wade and their entire family.
And a big thank you to Wade Allman for reaching out and sharing their story with us.
Wade, keep fighting. Cougar Nation is pulling for you. 💙🤙
