After coming up empty on the first drive of the night, BYU’s first team offense found some running lanes the second time it touched the football.
LJ Martin gained 58 yards on two carries to set the stage for Bachmeir. The true freshman QB completed passes to Parker Kingston and Sione Moa before finishing the drive with a three-yard scoring run.
Carsen Ryan was stopped short of the goal line on a two-point conversion.
It was Bachmeier’s third rushing touchdown in just three quarters of play this season. He needs two more rushing touchdowns to pass Taysom Hill (2012) for the most by a QB in a single season.
BYU leads 6-0 and has the football in Stanford territory after the first period.
