BYU football: How to watch Saturday’s BYU

Key Points:

• BYU enters the game 3-0 overall and 1-0 in Big 12 play, coming off a bye week and averaging 42 points scored and 15.7 points allowed per game, but they have not won in Fort Worth since 2006 despite a 44-11 victory over TCU last year.
• TCU is 2-2 overall and 0-1 in conference, struggling with penalties and turnovers, having lost two recent games and needing a win to avoid an 0-2 Big 12 start for the first time since 2013.
• Key matchups include BYU’s potent offense versus TCU’s strong run defense, and BYU’s freshman offensive tackle Bott Mulitalo facing TCU’s effective pass rush, with Mulitalo’s performance critical due to the absence of veteran Andrew Gentry.
• BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier, outstanding so far, faces his first Big 12 road test, while TCU aims to capitalize on BYU’s ball security to shift momentum.
• Coaches Kalani Sitake (BYU) and Sonny Dykes (TCU) emphasize readiness and the need to correct mistakes, especially turnovers and penalties, as both teams prepare for this important conference matchup.
