Bear Bachmeier - Runs in two scores Saturday Bachmeier was 11-for-24 passing for 62 yards during Saturday's 17-10 victory versus TCU. He also had 15 rushes for 66 yards with two touchdowns.
Impact Bachmeier scored a pair of rushing touchdowns Saturday, including one late in the fourth quarter that sealed the win for the Cougars. He gained a season-high 66 yards on the ground, which is more than he had in his previous three games combined. He needed to get things going on the ground because he struggled in the passing game, completing less than 50 percent of his passes for just 62 yards. It's a disappointing performance from that perspective after such a strong start to the season in the air. He'll look to get back on track against another tough Iowa State defense on Friday.

LJ Martin - Will be evaluated Sunday Martin (ankle) will be evaluated Sunday after not returning to Saturday's game against TCU in Week 5, Jay Drew of Deseret News reports.
Impact Head coach Kalani Sitake said he doesn't have much information about Martin, but the star tailback will be evaluated Sunday, and that will determine a course to action after he exited Saturday's game. If Martin is forced to miss time, Preston Rex would operate as the Cougars' RB1 while Journee Tonga and Jovesa Damuni would be in line for more touches. But even with replacements in place, losing Martin would be a huge blow to the Cougars' backfield.
