Utah defensive coordinator Morgan Scalley acknowledged he was "dead wrong" in his assessment of BYU quarterback Bear Bachmeier ahead of the Holy War rivalry game scheduled for November 3, 2026.

Scalley's comments came during a media availability as the Utes prepare to face the Cougars in one of college football's most heated in-state rivalries. The admission highlights the unexpected development of Bachmeier, who has emerged as a key player for BYU this season.
