Baylor (1-5) is back at home after a week off to face Kansas State (4-4) on Saturday at 6:00 p.m. CT in a game that will be aired on ESPN2. 

Baylor vs. Texas Tech Primer

As bad as Kansas State needs a victory to overcome their recent slump, Baylor’s five-game losing streak is a bigger thorn in the side of Dave Aranda’s Bears and with games against Oklahoma and Oklahoma State remaining, this is the best chance to get another this season.

Since opening the season with a win over Kansas, Baylor has dropped five games in a row in a variety of ways by an average of seven points. More frustrating is that Baylor very well should have won three of the five with a loss to West Virginia in double overtime and most recently two consecutive losses to Iowa State and Texas Tech where the Bears led by double digits in the second half. Baylor fell to the Red Raiders on a field goal to end regulation. 

For Kansas State, the Wildcats have had a back-and-forth eight-game season that began with a loss to Arkansas State of the Sun Belt and was immediately followed up with a victory over then No. 3 Oklahoma. KSU strung together four wins in a row, but are now in the midst of a three-game losing streak including most recently a 45-0 loss to Iowa State. 

Baylor will see the return of offensive weapons John Lovett, Tyquan Thornton and tight end Ben Sims against the Wildcats. On the other hand, KSU could very well be without the starting linebacker duo of Justin Hughes and Elijah Sullivan.

Preview and Prediction

 

Baylor vs. Texas Tech Prediction

Written by Sam Bradshaw (S11)

Baylor is more consistent stopping their opponent and outside of the outing in Morgantown have moved the ball better against common foes.   KSU has a great kicking and return game that should make an impact.  This one can go either way.

KSU gets a score or two off of short fields or returns but it’s not quite enough.   Baylor gets the W but the kicking game issues that plagued them against TCU and ISU make Baylor fans sweat for it.

Baylor 24, KSU 23

Why should we? Rhule was his hire and that worked out pretty well even with Rhule's NFL ambitions.

More penalty yards than total offense?

More k-state sacks than Baylor points?

And when we go 2-10 you'll be deferring until year 3 for judgement right ?

What an idiotic play. Of course he might have wanted to get kicked out so as to avoid the rest of this pointless game.

Sure looks like it to me. Not sure what your watching but right now Kansas is the only P5 program we're better then. Arandas face planting this team into a decade of cellar dwelling pillow fights with KU every year

Can't blame the coaches 100%.

The players are completely failing at the fundamentals. They know better.

I wonder how much better this team would have been with Rhule since these are his players?

Doesn't really do much good to wonder. We have the coach we have and he is failing

It's still coaching. If they aren't teaching and reinforcing the fundamentals, in a 1-5 season, what are they doing?

Steele years were apocalyptically, Book-of-Revelation-level bad. We ain't there yet.

Mind you, I'm not at all saying we are good or even average. Right now, were bad, very bad. But not Steele-level bad.

Give Fedora another year, though... Ugh.

I blame CAB. If he had never come to Baylor and shown how fun it was to score points and win crap like our coaching now would be expected. This is what happens when you put a defensive coach in charge.

Remember how people used to gripe about a track meet offense, letting the other team score 212 points but we would score 42 and the occasional muffed punt return causing experts to bemoan the fact we didnt even have a special teams coach?

At the pace we're going backward, give us a year or two and we'll be there.

12 plays 7 yards. And KSU is down at least 3 defensive starters. Try someone else at QB!! Anyone. He'll bring the entire back up o line in. Literally it cannot get ANY worse offensively

#56 acting like he's never played a game in his life. Terrible.

Bedier is a turnstile at right tackle. A tackle dummy could do a better job. He should not see the field for the rest of the game.
