Gavin Holmes and Baylor have Plenty of Practice Handling Adversity

This week, a big game feeling is in the air as Baylor Football prepares to fly west for a Top 25 matchup at BYU. 

The schools' religious affiliations, coaching links, future conference ties, plus this timely home-and-home, have helped lay the groundwork for a budding rivalry in the future Big 12. 

Right now, this game has a feeling of importance nationally, and for numerous reasons, the right amount of ingredients for a slugfest out west.
