Bear Bachmeier taking over games with his legs

Watching Bear put up three rushing touchdowns against Baylor tells you everything you need to know about how this offense has evolved. We didn't throw it all over the yard, but when we needed tough yards in the red zone, number 47 just put the team on his back and got it done. Fourteen completions for 104 yards through the air isn't going to make SportsCenter highlights, but grinding out 54 yards on fifteen carries and converting when it mattered most is winning football. Jay Hill's defense did their job holding them to just 238 total yards too. Getting out of Waco with a 28 to 7 win and zero turnovers is massive as we keep pushing down the stretch.

That three rushing touchdown performance from Bear in Waco was just pure grit. When the passing game isn't clicking downfield, having a sophomore quarterback who can put his head down and grind out tough yards in the red zone is huge. Couple that with Bodie Schoonover getting home for a couple of sacks and the defense holding them under 250 total yards, and you get a very satisfying road win. Zero turnovers too. Love seeing this team mature down the stretch. Go Cougs!
