BYU defeats Iowa State 24-10 to remain undefeated

BYU Cougars Iowa State Cyclones Big 12 Conference Bear Bachmeier college football

No. 8 BYU secured a 24-10 victory over Iowa State at LaVell Edwards Stadium, maintaining a perfect 5-0 season record and a 3-0 start in Big 12 play. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier led the Cougars with a season-high 329 passing yards and two touchdowns, while also contributing a career-best 109 rushing yards.

Despite the win, BYU faced challenges including redzone inefficiencies and penalties. The Cougars played without star running back LJ Martin, who is sidelined with a lower-body injury. Iowa State, now 3-3, struggled offensively, totaling only 200 yards—its lowest single-game output since 2018. Jaylen Raynor threw for 98 yards and a touchdown for the Cyclones, while Aiden Flora added 86 rushing yards.

The victory sets up a high-profile matchup for BYU next week against No. 2 Notre Dame, an event expected to draw significant national attention.
