Just seven games, eight weeks or two months into his BYU career, quarterback Bear Bachmeier has already written a whole chapter on the storied BYU-Utah rivalry.

Bear Bachmeier found Chase Roberts for 17-yard TD to give the BYU Cougars the lead over the Utah Utes. The Food Network star was involved in a freak accident, during which his hand was impaled several times.

In front of a mostly blue, respectably red sellout crowd and a national television audience, the centaur vanquished the spider. Bear Bachmeier threw for 166 yards and a touchdown, and ran for 62 yards and a score as No.

In a rivalry game loaded with everything from the insane to the inexplicable, the three biggest plays that shifted the battle in BYU’s favor all happened during a six-and-a-half-minute stretch of the fourth quarter. Following Parker Kingston’s 12-yard run to give BYU a 17-14 lead, the Utes faced second-and-13 at their own 36.

With rival Utah looking to get a vital stop on third-and-11 on their 22-yard line, BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier called his own number.

Bear Bachmeier scrambled for a 22-yard TD to extend the BYU Cougars' lead over the Utah Utes.
