Bear Bachmeier runs for 2 TDs as No. 10 BYU overcomes loss of LJ Martin to beat TCU 17-10

FORT WORTH, Texas -- , BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier ran for two touchdowns, the second a clinching 21-yarder with 2:06 left , and the No. 10 Cougars overcame an injury to running back LJ Martin in a 17-10 victory over TCU on a rainy Saturday night. “That was a gritty win," coach Kalani Sitake said. “I liked ending the game how we did, which was a long drive, getting in the end zone, and Bear just took over.” Both teams had trouble moving the ball, with 72 of the 216 total yards by BYU (4-0, 2-0 Big 12) coming of the late 10-play drive that took nearly six minutes. Bachmeier bounced off one of his teammates at the line, then ran through several TCU defenders inside the 10 to make it 17-7. “There’s nothing stopping him from getting in the end zone,” center Bruce Mitchell said. “It’s fun to see Bear just do what he does," Sitake said.
