BYU football team makes history in upset win over Notre Dame

Brigham Young University’s football program etched its name into the record books with a stunning 28–24 upset victory over the previously unbeaten Notre Dame Fighting Irish in a Week 7 showdown. The Cougars, ranked No.

8 nationally, defied a 10.5-point underdog spread to snap Notre Dame’s 16-game winning streak, including a dramatic final drive that ended on a failed first-down conversion at the goal line. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier delivered a historic performance, scoring touchdowns in three different ways and leading BYU’s late-game rally in LaVell Edwards Stadium.

Notre Dame’s season-long bid for a top-four ranking in the College Football Playoff hinged on this win, but a controversial non-call on the final play sealed the Cougars’ triumph, marking one of the biggest upsets in program history.
