The #23 BYU Cougars defeated the West Virginia Mountaineers, 38-24, on Friday night, October 3, 2025, at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. The victory kept BYU undefeated at 5-0 (2-0 Big 12), while West Virginia dropped to 2-4 (0-3 Big 12).
The story of the game was the aerial assault led by BYU's freshman quarterback, Bear Bachmeier, who threw for a career-high 351 yards and a touchdown, adding another score on the ground. Bachmeier connected on several big plays, including a 47-yard pass to Chase Roberts on the first play and a 54-yard touchdown pass to Parker Kingston. Roberts finished with 161 receiving yards, and Kingston had 111, as the Cougars totaled 517 yards of offense.
West Virginia, starting freshman quarterback Khalil Wilkins in his first career start, struggled to keep pace. Wilkins was a threat running the ball, totaling 89 rushing yards, but completed only 7-of-15 passes for 81 yards and two interceptions. One interception was returned 49 yards by BYU's Therrian Alexander III, setting up an early touchdown.
The Cougars established a commanding 28-10 halftime lead. West Virginia attempted to rally, forcing three turnovers in the game, including a fumble recovery by Fred Perry that led to a Mountaineer touchdown in the third quarter. However, the BYU offense consistently answered, with a long third-quarter drive ending in a field goal and an early fourth-quarter rushing touchdown by LJ Martin.
Despite a late 29-yard touchdown pass from West Virginia's backup quarterback Scotty Fox Jr. to Cam Vaughn, the Mountaineers' inability to stop BYU's big passing plays or consistently run the ball proved to be the difference in the Big 12 contest.
