BYU’s Bear Bachmeier takes shot at Notre Dame for ‘disrespecting him’ in high school

BYU quarterback **Bear Bachmeier** delivered a dominant performance in a stunning upset over Notre Dame, securing a 24-21 victory that marked the Cougars' first win over the Fighting Irish since 2004. The game carried personal significance for Bachmeier, who cited long-standing disrespect from Notre Dame during his high school years as motivation, vowing he would not lose to the program.

His all-around excellence included 23-of-36 passing for 224 yards and a touchdown, along with two rushing touchdowns and two receiving touchdowns—a historic feat as the first BYU quarterback in 30 years to achieve both rushing and receiving touchdowns in the same game. The win also defied heavy odds, as Notre Dame entered the match with just a 0.04% chance of losing, according to ESPN Analytics, and solidified BYU’s second-ever victory over a top-two ranked opponent this season.

With momentum building, the Cougars now aim to sustain this level of play as they push for a College Football Playoff berth.
