No. 8 Baylor (9-2) will host Texas Tech (6-5) at McLane Stadium on Saturday afternoon in the final regular season for the Bears in 2021. 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “Defensively, we're just gonna be careful just with our signals. But outside of that it’s the opponent that's right in front of us. It's the things that we put on tape. Offensively, Tech has shown that they're interested in opponent film, and if there's weaknesses, they attack it, and if there's things that have hurt you in the past, they notice it. That's a big part going into this game. I think continuing to block out the noise and keep the outside on the outside and focus on developing the inside and controlling the stuff you can control. That's a further test with all that this week. Our ability to take the next step as the defense is doing that consistently. Right? It’s not relying on externals and so I see that as really being the focus.”


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Texas Tech — Wide Receiver Erik Ezukanma

Without a doubt, Tech's biggest star and playmaker, especially on offense. Although his team-leading 691 yards and 4 touchdowns receiving aren't eye-popping stats, you have to consider he's played with three different starting quarterbacks and two different head coaches this season. The junior from Fort Worth also has nine carries for 114 yards and two scores over Tech's last six contests. 

Baylor — Quarterback Blake Shapen

I think we're all anticipating Shapen being the starter on Saturday, and if that's the case, he got one heck of a warmup run last week against Kansas State. He shouldn't need to be Superman with the talent around him and the defense he's facing, which ranks middle or towards the bottom in most Big 12 categories. I think we'll see a confident quarterback ready to take advantage of an ample opportunity on Saturday. Protect the football, be your 1/11th, and let the rest take care of itself.

He ran it straight into 11 in the box. Maybe 12

Could be intentionally playing it safe since the team is already down the 2nd string QB. Not sure who #3 is nor if that person is remotely close to ready.

Michigan up 8 and knocking on the door.

Hankins contrary to some opinions is a good kicker. His form is picture perfect from a soccer players point of view, but he needs it be spotted perfectly. Just from what I've seen its the snaps causing the ball to be put down off a couple inches he has trouble with. Yet that was almost a gimme.

If Shapen keeps after faking to Smith, he'll waltz in.

In decent position to get double digit wins for the 6th time in the last decade. I couldn't fathom that when I was in school.

Maybe that is being set up for later. I don't know. Can't lose the back up on a smack down hit though.

Knee is done, so no fumble, but not sure if it was a catch.

Yeah it's incredible. I remember watching Robert's first year, thinking the guy just made too many bone headed mistakes, just ignoring wide open receivers to go run and get creamed.

What happened next will shock you, click to find out!

That was some lazy pursuit... 90 and 22 didn't really try and there was a big hold that wasn't called on top of it too.
