BYU Football 2025 Preview: Bear Bachmeier, Season Predictions & The Finals Game Review
•
Matt Smith
The 2025 college football season is here — and The Matt Cave is diving deep into the BYU Cougars football preview before Week 1 kicks off.
In this episode, Matt breaks down everything Cougar Nation needs to know:
- QB1 Bear Bachmeier: true freshman starter, comparisons to Taysom Hill, and what fans can realistically expect.
- BYU’s offense: Chase Roberts, Tiger Bachmeier, JoJo Phillips, LJ Martin, and a rebuilt offensive line.
- BYU’s defense: led by Jack Kelly, Isaiah Glasker, and Raider Demouni — but can they finally generate sacks?
- Special teams strength: All-American kicker Will Ferrin and returner Parker Kingston.
- Season prediction: Ceiling, floor, and why Matt has BYU finishing 6–6 in 2025.
Plus — we end with a gamer’s PSA on The Finals, the free-to-play FPS you need to try if you’re tired of Call of Duty and Fortnite.
