Baylor vs. BYU: Kickoff Delay, Early Highlights and Nov. 15 Game Update

Information checked November 15, 2026, at approximately 01:15 UTC (November 14, 2026, 8:15 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, UTC−05:00). Live scores may change after this check.

The most important confirmed development in Baylor vs. BYU is the change to Saturday’s kickoff. BYU and the Big 12 moved the November 14, 2026, football game at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo, Utah, to 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time (MST, UTC−07:00), equivalent to 6 p.m. Central Standard Time (CST, UTC−06:00), 7 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST, UTC−05:00), and 00:00 UTC Sunday, November 15. BYU said the change followed a nationwide FAA ground stop affecting air travel. FOX remains the announced U.S. broadcaster.

An independently maintained live-score snapshot for the early second quarter showed BYU leading Baylor 14–0, with quarterback Bear Bachmeier credited with two rushing touchdowns. However, the official team game pages available at this check had not yet posted a confirmed final score or complete game book. That 14–0 figure is therefore an interim, time-sensitive report, not a final result or a continuously updated scoreboard.

Destaques

• Official schedule change: Kickoff moved to November 14 at 5 p.m. in Provo (MST, UTC−07:00), or midnight UTC on November 15.
• Early game snapshot: A nonofficial tracker showed BYU ahead 14–0 in the second quarter; no final result was verified.
• Broadcast: FOX is the confirmed television outlet; BYU and Baylor also list team radio options.
• Conference stakes: Both programs entered at 4–2 in the Big 12, making this game consequential for the closing weeks of the race.

What is the Baylor vs. BYU score, and is the game over?

The most recent accessible play-by-play snapshot showed No. 10 BYU up 14–0 with the second quarter underway. It listed two first-quarter rushing touchdowns by Bear Bachmeier, from eight and five yards, followed by extra points from Matthias Dunn. The tracker snapshot was not timestamped with a reliably verifiable wall-clock update, so it should not be mistaken for a current score at the moment a reader opens this page.

As of the verification above, neither Baylor’s official game center nor BYU’s game page presented a completed, authoritative final box score. A responsible game report cannot assign a winner, describe fourth-quarter plays, or quote final statistics without that confirmation. Readers looking for the latest result should follow the official game-center and live-stats links rather than treating this snapshot as a live feed.

Why was Baylor vs. BYU delayed, and what time did it start?

BYU announced on November 13 that its Saturday home game would shift to 5 p.m. MST on November 14. The university attributed the change to the national FAA ground stop on air travel, which also led it to adjust the start times for some other campus sporting events. The kickoff change was coordinated with the Big 12 and Baylor. The official BYU schedule-change announcement supersedes older listings.

The new start translates to 6 p.m. in Waco, Texas (CST, UTC−06:00), 7 p.m. on the U.S. East Coast (EST, UTC−05:00), and 00:00 UTC on November 15. Provo and Waco were both on standard time by November 14 because daylight saving time had ended earlier in the month. Some older game previews and pages still displayed the earlier 1:30 p.m. Provo kickoff, or an equivalent 2:30 p.m. Central listing. Those are outdated relative to BYU’s November 13 announcement.

What were the biggest early Baylor–BYU highlights?

The early tracker placed Bachmeier at the center of BYU’s offense. Its first two recorded scores were quarterback runs, and its partial second-quarter snapshot credited him with 44 rushing yards on seven carries. That is a snapshot of the opening phase, not a complete performance assessment. The same partial record showed Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway at five completions on ten attempts for 23 passing yards. These figures cannot establish what happened later in the contest.

What is confirmed independently is the importance of the quarterback matchup. Baylor entered the week with Lagway leading its passing attack; the Baylor official preview also identified BYU’s Bachmeier as a major challenge. BYU came into the game after a 28–20 defeat at Utah, while Baylor had beaten Iowa State 42–31 on November 7. Those results set up a meeting of teams seeking momentum in the Big 12 race.

How did Baylor and BYU match up entering Saturday?

Baylor arrived in Provo with a 6–3 overall record and 4–2 conference record. BYU stood 7–2 overall and 4–2 in Big 12 play. That parity in league losses heightened the stakes even though the Cougars had one more overall victory. The teams also had a recent history of close contests: BYU beat Baylor 34–28 in Waco on September 28, 2024, and 26–20 in Provo on September 10, 2022, according to Baylor’s official opponent history.

The game could affect both teams’ paths toward the conference championship, but a single result alone would not guarantee a berth. Other Big 12 outcomes and remaining games still matter. For Baylor, the next scheduled opponents include Texas Tech on November 21 and Houston on November 28. BYU’s remaining listed regular-season games include Kansas on November 21 and Cincinnati on November 28. These future matchups are scheduled fixtures, not completed outcomes.

Where can fans watch Baylor vs. BYU and find official highlights?

The game’s announced television home is FOX. BYU’s game-week information hub lists BYU Radio, SiriusXM 166, BYURadio.org, the BYU Radio app, and KSL Newsradio for audio coverage. Baylor lists the Baylor Sports Media Network for its radio broadcast. Viewers should check FOX’s current programming guide or authorized streaming availability for their location, particularly because older pages may still display the pre-delay kickoff time.

Video highlights and official postgame analysis should be checked through BYU Athletics, Baylor Athletics, FOX Sports, or the Big 12 once published. A short social clip or interim scoreboard cannot independently establish a final score, and no official full-game highlight package had been verified during this check.

What happens next after Baylor vs. BYU?

Once the final box score is published, the critical updates will be the final margin, turnovers, quarterback efficiency, red-zone performance, and the effect on conference standings. If BYU holds a lead, its standing may improve; if Baylor rallies, the conference race could shift in the Bears’ favor. Both are conditional possibilities, not statements about a result that has already been established.

For now, the verified news is the kickoff postponement and its cause; the 14–0 score represents only an early, separately sourced snapshot. Readers should expect a definitive recap only after an official completed game report becomes available.
