PROVO, Utah – BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier was limping after the first offensive series of the Big 12 Championship Game.

It’s raised questions regarding his availability for the Pop-Tarts Bowl.

BYU football head coach Kalani Sitake noted on Selection Sunday that Bachmeier would be “fine” for the Top 25 clash in Orlando against Georgia Tech on December 27.

Fast-forward to Thursday, with the team back to practice, BYU offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick is confident that Bachmeier, who is dealing with a left ankle injury, will play against the Yellow Jackets.

When asked if Bachmeier practiced on Thursday inside the Indoor Practice Facility, Roderick said, “No, not today. But he’ll play in the game, though. He didn’t practice today.”
