Pete ThamelESPN Former Boise State quarterback Hank Bachmeier is transferring to Louisiana Tech, he told ESPN in a phone interview on Wednesday.Bachmeier won the starting
task all 4 years he was at Boise State but left the team this season before playing in the Broncos’fifth game. That leaves him with two full years of eligibility.He selected the quarterback-friendly system of coach Sonny Cumbie
in Ruston, where he’ll have the ability to continue his advancement. He’ll enroll in the spring and with the goal of competing for the beginning job in 2023.”I wished to play in the Air Raid and in a pass-friendly offense,”Bachmeier informed ESPN.” I believe Coach Cumbie and his track record are an excellent fit. It’s an offense that any quarterback would want to play in. “Editor’s Picks Bachmeier started 29 games at Boise, including a win at Florida State his freshman year and triumphes in 2021 over No. 10 BYU and No. 25 Fresno State. He threw for 6,605 yards in his 4 years at Boise State, consisting of 41 goals and 19 interceptions.As Bachmeier examined his choices, he kept returning to Cumbie’s offensive acumen, with Cumbie having actually learned under Mike Leach and Kliff Kingsbury. Cumbie’s offenses while at Texas Tech consistently tossed for more than 4,000 lawns per season. “I asked a lot of people,”Bachmeier stated, “and not once did anybody say a bad thing about Coach Cumbie. He got rave reviews.”
