BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier and Texas Tech wide receiver Caleb Douglas have sparked concern among fans after a lackluster first half in the matchup between the two teams at the AT&T Stadium. Bachmeier appeared to injure his ankle on the Cougars' opening drive, prompting a thorough examination on the sidelines. Despite the initial scare, he managed to continue playing and taking snaps throughout the half. However, his limited mobility seemed to hinder the QB run game and resulted in a lack of vertical passes. Bachmeier completed 9 out of 12 attempts for a mere 55 yards in the first half. Meanwhile, Douglas failed to record a single reception in the first half, prompting fans to question the coaching staff and quarterback's decision-making. Despite the concerns, Texas Tech held a slim 13-7 lead at halftime, thanks in part to Behren Morton's 142 passing yards. The Red Raiders' defense also managed to limit BYU to 114 total yards. As the game continues, fans will be anxiously waiting for updates on Bachmeier's ankle and Douglas's involvement in the game.
