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.

How do you go from being anticipated Heisman trophy finalist (many predicted he'd win) and a projected Top 10 NFL draft pick, to being a sideline backup for the remainder of the year? It's happening.

Were they saying Shapen is related to Hal Sutton?

Much-improved execution by offense and defense. Coach Aranda talks about playing a "clean" game. Need to clean up the punt team. Big time penalties could have been the difference with a better opponent. Those penalties not only gave WVU scoring opportunities, but took time away from our back ups to get more game experience.

The best way to gauge a team's discipline is to get a really big lead and carry it into the 4th quarter. There's still a lot of room for improvement there. That said, this game turned out more positively than most of us fans thought it would.

My english better. My daughter (figlia in italia) good teacher. I understand what you say now except for tenses. So now I have English to add to Spanish, French and German and some Portuguese. I speak some Swahili too as been on missionary trips to Kenya years ago. I guess good win for Baylor. I don't really know much but 45-20 is more than double and in European soccer 3-1 is good win.

In the absence of a visit from Bane, I'm forced to root for OU as well. And I hate it.

Thank the guy that lined up off sides on the punt that gave WVU a first down midway through the 4th quarter. Otherwise Shapen would have had time to do something (half a quarter).

Yeah. They should have taken him into that medical tent and water boarded him.

Great to see us bounce back after last week. Beating ourselves in Stillwater is going to haunt us this year.

Also good to see some of those wailing and gnashing last week swing back to the positive side of fandom.

R-E-L-A-X and let's bring on the Mormons!

Now there's a creative thought that would do wonders for discipline! :-)
