PROVO, Utah (AP) — Bear Bachmeier threw for 296 yards and a touchdown to lead No. 12 BYU to a 44-13 victory over TCU on Saturday night.

Bachmeier added 59 yards and another touchdown on the ground for his seventh game this season with both a passing TD and a rushing TD. He’s the first BYU player since Virgil Carter in 1966 to accomplish the feat in a single season.

The freshman racked up 239 passing yards in the first half alone.

“Offensively, it felt like it was just good to let Bear throw the ball,” BYU coach Kalani Sitake said.

Parker Kingston added 80 yards on five catches. LJ Martin led BYU (9-1, 6-1 Big 12, No. 12 CFP) with 88 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The Cougars scored on their first seven drives and did not punt until the fourth quarter.
