Story summary

BYU, ranked 10th in college football, faced TCU on a rainy Saturday night at TCU's home field. BYU running back LJ Martin left the game early with an apparent injury, having only two carries for 16 yards before halftime. Despite losing their leading rusher from last season, who averaged 109.3 yards per game and was named AP Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year, BYU's quarterback Bear Bachmeier stepped up by running for two touchdowns to secure a 17-10 victory over TCU. With the win, BYU improved their record to 4-0 overall and 2-0 in the Big 12, while TCU fell to 2-3 overall and 0-2 in conference play. Bachmeier's key late-game touchdown with 2:06 remaining clinched the win for BYU.
