October 9, 2025
BYU freshman QB Bear Bachmeier has impressed in his first 5 games as lead signal caller. Bachmeier has been doing it with his feet, and his arm. Chase Roberts has helped Bachmeier get used to Big 12 football. LJ Martin and the BYU running game has been a massive part of their early success. Kalani Sitake has started 5-0 for back to back seasons now. Will that unbeaten streak continue in Tucson? Or will this stout Arizona defensive front and secondary make Bachmeier’s first Big 12 challenge a living nightmare? PLUS! Arizona WBB head coach Becky Burke joins the show LIVE with some pre-season thoughts on her squad. Join Damon Fairall and Kevin Thomas on the AZ Wildcats Podcast!
