Keys for Baylor
- Finish the game early. Do not let an FCS opponent hang around after a one-point loss.
- Establish the run with emphasis. Get Dawson Pendergrass going and keep Lagway on schedule.
- Clean up the details on offense. No wasted possessions after the Auburn finish.
- Stay assignment-sound. Attack on defense and run up the sack and TO total for the season, but play clean.
- Play 60 minutes. There is no reason this can’t be a rout from start to finish.
