BYU football improved to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in Big 12 play in the 2025 season after a 38-24 win over the West Virginia Mountaineers in Provo, Utah, on Friday, October 3, 2025.

KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper and Cougar Sports Saturday co-host Kyle Ireland broke down the win and shared their takeaways from the victory.

Bear Bachmeier passed for a career-high, eclipsing 300 yards for the first time in his BYU football career.

Bachmeier's top targets were Chase Roberts and Parker Kingston. Roberts produced a career-high in receiving yards in the win.

The Cougar defense suffered a tough blow as Jack Kelly was injured, and fellow linebacker Isaiah Glasker was also sidelined.

BYU generated two takeaways against the West Virginia offense, which was led by first-time starting quarterback Khalil Wilkins.
