BYU's rally came up short Saturday. Utah trailed 20-14 at halftime, then held the Cougars scoreless in the second half and won 28-20. Sophomore quarterback Bear Bachmeier threw four interceptions, matching his total from BYU's first eight games.

“I've got no doubt in Bear. He's going to bounce back.”

The Cougars (7-2) slid to No. 12 in the AP poll and are 4-2 in the Big 12. Next up is Baylor (6-3, 4-2), visiting LaVell Edwards Stadium. LJ Martin also returned Saturday and ran for a 4-yard touchdown.

Veterans Day

BYU students are helping find relatives of service members missing from past wars

On Veterans Day, here's a local effort worth knowing. Students at BYU's Center for Family History and Genealogy work with the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency to find living relatives of service members lost mostly in World War II and the Korean War.

In each case the remains were positively identified and returned to their families.

Students comb birth, marriage and death records and historical newspapers, many in languages other than English. BYU says its students are a good fit because many learned those languages on missions or other travels.

“We are finding people with ancestors that have been lost to these wars, and we're helping give hope that these soldiers may be exhumed and returned at some point.”
