As the BYU Cougars look to implement a new quarterback for 2025, they'll examine the success of Sam Leavitt and the Arizona State Sun Devils from a year ago and attempt to replicate their formula. Could the Cougars make Bear Bachmeier their Leavitt and make a run at the Big 12 Conference title? Host Richie Bradshaw (Locked On Sun Devils) joins Jake Hatch (Locked On BYU Cougars) for a deep dive into the wild, unpredictable world of the Big 12, outlining how the Sun Devils set up Leavitt to maximize his talents and find major success in year one. The guys talk NIL and the differences between how Kenny Dillingham and Kalani Sitake market their programs for financial support. Both Bradshaw and Hatch like their teams' chances to make the Big 12 Conference Championship Game and potentially reignite a dormant rivalry, but they also look at other major contenders in the conference, such as Texas Tech, Baylor, Kansas State, BYU, and even the dark horse Kansas. Will the Big 12’s trademark chaos strike again, or will one or two teams pull away and crash the College Football Playoff?
