BYU rides into Week Two with confidence after a dominant opening win, looking to build momentum against the Stanford Cardinal. With freshman QB Bear Bachmeier facing his former school, Cougar fans are eager to see if BYU can keep proving itself on the national stage.

BYU made history by naming true freshman Bear Bachmeier its starting quarterback, the first in school history to open a season under center. Backed by his coaches’ confidence and a reputation as a natural leader, Bachmeier is set to lead the Cougars into a historic 2025 campaign.

BYU’s summer camp has been defined by one burning question: who will be QB1 when the Cougars kick off against Portland State on August 30. With true freshman Bear Bachmeier taking most first-team reps in recent practices, the coaching staff may be closing in on a decision, though head coach Kalani Sitake insists the job is still up for grabs.
