Baylor (5-1) looks to stay on track and earn bowl eligibility against No. 19-ranked BYU (5-1) at McLane Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a Homecoming game. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “For us like to have a great Monday and for us to have really intentional meetings, when we're out in practice today and we're on the left hash and we're gonna take the drill and go to the right hash, we need to jog and run to that. I'm gonna be... my day is going to be really kind of are we running to this, right? Are we looking to get the most out of today? Or are we looking just to kind of go through the motions because we had a W on Saturday as opposed to an L the week before? I see this week is really being central that way. In terms of how we do what we do.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Baylor — Wide Receiver Drew Estrada 

Estrada cracked the starting lineup for the first time as a Bear last week against West Virginia, and the past couple of games have shown why he was such a highly thought of transfer addition. Now healthier, Estrada is squarely in the mix and has caught ten passes for 178 yards in the past two weeks while also showing his strength as a blocker. It's only a matter of time until he finds the endzone for his first touchdown in green and gold. 

BYU — Quarterback Jaren Hall 

Hall made his return to the lineup last week after missing the previous two contests with bruised ribs and proceeded to surpass the 300-yard passing mark for the first time in his career. Unfortunately, BYU's backs lost three fumbles (one on special teams), the offense failed twice on fourth down, they struggled in the rain, and Hall was picked off on 3rd and 20 in BSU territory to seal the deal. He's a capable passer but still young in his experience and development. The sophomore is also a threat running the ball, although the injury seemed to sideline that aspect of his game last week.

But if you get it.. you're gonna have to rush up and spike the clock and try a FG anyway into the wind.

Throw into the end zone


You had 2 timeouts and the clock stops after the 1st. There was 30 seconds left. You could run another 4-5 plays

BYU had a clear path to a pick 6 and teammate knocked ball away from him.

Good pass defense by BYU to prevent the BYU interception

You take 17-7 lead any day at the half but this should be at least a 23-7 lead right now

We ended the half with almost twice TOP as BYU. Hope we can continue the pattern in the 2nd half.

I don't see Georgia losing….but would be hilarious in this crazy year if both #1 and #2 lost today

now if only we could get the words to that good old Baylor line on the screen, cause our fan base doesn't know it.

Looks like it may be Baylor vs. Baylor in the 2nd half according to the BYU radio team.

Probably 31-7. Or at worst 28. Bem sima drops a sure TD on the hit. Then the int in the end zone which could have at least been 3

Zero penalties for either team in first half….how rare is that

Dominating the stat sheet but not the scoreboard. Hope that doesn't bite us in the ass. Bulk of their Total Yards cane on those 2 downfield passes.

True, but BYU also wasn't allowed to score and their d had to stay on the field.
