This week in BYU talk

The shows spent the week building up BYU versus Arizona as a big Big 12 game with playoff implications, with talk centering on whether BYU's rushing attack could overwhelm Arizona's defense and if Bear Bachmeier could prove himself as a passer. After BYU won 28-17, the hosts praised Bachmeier's second-half growth, LJ Martin's running, and Kalani Sitake's offensive flexibility.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

In this week's clips: Bear Bachmeier, LJ Martin, Noah Fifita, Giovanni Richardson, Tre Spivey, Legend Glasker, Faletau Satuala.
