In a significant Big 12 conference game, No. 14 BYU defeated Arizona 41-19 at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah. With this victory, BYU improved to 6-0 for the first time since 2020, remains unbeaten in league play at 3-0, and secured bowl eligibility after missing postseason play last year. The Cougars' defense was dominant, forcing four turnovers—including two early in the second half to break the game open—and scoring 24 points off turnovers. Isaiah Glasker's pick-six sealed the win late in the game. Notably, BYU's offensive line did not allow any sacks, extending a streak since September 21; Arizona, which averages 2.2 sacks per game, was held without a sack. BYU's offense amassed nearly 400 yards, while the defense limited Arizona despite the Wildcats gaining 389 total yards. The victory keeps BYU atop the Big 12 standings, surpassing preseason expectations after being picked 13th out of 16 in the Big 12 media poll.
