Baylor (4-1) looks to rebound after its first loss of the 2021 football season when it faces West Virginia (2-3) on Saturday at 11 a.m. CT inside McLane Stadium. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “We're excited for the fans for this next one, for sure. In looking ahead to this week, just seeing the opportunity for us to be able the put a game together, right? To start off a game fast and then to close out, the first half strong, and then to close out the game strong. And to do it with a with a real strong energy and a real strong competitive maturity. When we get into those pressured situations, and those tough moments, to be at our best, I think those are things that we've been really working on and are really looking forward to showing and would love to be able to have a crowd there that can energize us. I know for our players to be able to play in front of the home crowd is something they look forward to.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Baylor — QB Gerry Bohanon

With the uptick in competition, Bohanon has shown some growing pains. West Virginia will bring the heat on defense this weekend, and the margin for error will be slim. Bohanon needs to let 'er rip on Saturday while having his head on a swivel. Establishing the passing game early and often is critical to avoiding a repeat of last week's first half.

West Virginia — Quarterback Jarret Doege 

Throughout his career, Doege has been prone to inconsistency and turnovers, similar to Spencer Sanders. Take last Saturday, for example. His first drive interception and third drive sack-fumble directly led to Tech's early 14-0 lead. Then, in the second half, the Texas native led four scoring drives to tie the game at 20 before falling to a late field goal. Backup Garrett Greene will be involved too, but a lot will ride on which version of Doege shows up against the Bears defense.

Yes Rattler has been benched. Backup leads them to a TD

OU has been a pretender since week 1.

Texas might be the best team in the conference. They have been killing it since that Arkansas game.

Except that TCU could've easily beaten them had they not repeatedly shot themselves in the foot and gifted UT points for most of the game.
They kept them at arms length the entire game. In what was a road game and TCU's super bowl.


Tcu also had a ko return for a TD that made it close

Should consider calling a timeout to gather the defense

Mordecai may have gotten his chance this year. That said he is having a great career at SMU. So ultimately that was the right choice for him it appears.

They also turned it over three times, leading to points for Texas.

They bring in Williams in short down situations similar to what they did with Bell. He's 6'3 230

And Bijan just put someone in the spin cycle

Better than the losing pitcher for the White Sox yesterday named "Bummer"?

Bohannon has 5 incompletions and 3 of them are drops by Estrada.

Just noticed WV must be tougher than IowaSt: they have cooling fans on their sideline but no parasols.

I'm disappointed in Ika….no Lord of the Dance after that sack

Would love one more score before the half. Even if it's a FG. FG unit can always use more in-game situations with basically zero pressure.
