Bear Bachmeier's Notre Dame win came with "receipts"

The BYU quarterback connects the victory to a recruiting slight, then stops short of explaining what happened.

BYU QB Bear Bachmeier said he really wanted that win vs. Notre Dame. #cfb #byufootball

Bear Bachmeier was not ready to explain everything. But after BYU beat Notre Dame, the quarterback made clear that this was a win he had wanted for reasons beyond the scoreboard.

"Out of high school, Notre Dame disrespected me and my family pretty badly..." he says at the postgame microphone. Then comes the line that gives CBS Sports College Football's Short its edge: "I wasn't going to lose to those guys tonight."

The clip pairs his remarks with fans rushing the field after BYU's 28-24 victory and Bachmeier embracing someone amid the celebrations. Asked what happened during recruiting, he pulls back without quite putting the subject away: "I shouldn't have said that, but there are some receipts kept, and man, I'm glad we won."

That combination of celebration and unfinished business drew about 143,000 views in seven hours, already far beyond the channel's usual full-day audience for a Short. The comments had also comfortably exceeded a typical first day's total.

Viewers are discussing what recruiting experiences might sit behind his remarks, though Bachmeier supplies no further details. Others focus on his quarterback play or look ahead to BYU playing Utah. The specifics of those "receipts" stay with Bachmeier; the clip gives his own explanation for why beating Notre Dame mattered.
