BYU struggles badly in a 45-17 loss to Baylor. It was looking like a promising start after LJ Martin got a 75 yard receiving touchdown early. However two first half fumbles by BYU would quickly turn the tide in Baylor's favor. From there, BYU could just not get anything get going and could not stop the Baylor offense. Jake Retzlaff struggles in is first start, as he goes 9/22 for 154 yards and an interception. Retzlaff will look to improve his accuracy going forward.

Coming off their huge block 2 win vs CU, the BU Bears had an unknown waiting for them in Utah, the BruisedBagel led BYU Cougars.
With BYU getting some nice buffs earlier in the week, BU knew they had to do the one thing that can really put them in a bad place, “Protect the BALL!” Well this game was as straightforward as it looked on the stat sheet. Baylor ran the ball hard, and often, as they dominated the TOP 19:29 to 8:31. The Bears ran for 251 yards on 40 carries by 6 different players in this one with the entire 4th qtr being backups and never even attempting a pass in the 4th.
New BYU Qb Jake Retzlaff had some shining moments as he was able to connect with LJ Martin for along TD and also was able to rush for 67 yards on just 7 carries. But Baylor did also connect with a nice user peanut punch and forced a fumble from him as well from their KR team which kind of broke the game open.
Bears cruise 45-17 and look ahead to their ranked matchup vs the #12 Iowa State Cyclones
