After a bad offense in 2024 which saw him fire his OC and a great defense in 2024 which saw Texas Tech money whip his DC, he’s got two new coordinators and a lot for opponents to prepare against. How does this 8-3 version of UH attack?
In year two Willie Fritz’s Cougars have taken a huge step forward. Just how solid have the Cougars been on their way to an 8-3 start? The numbers can paint a more detailed picture.
As Baylor is most of the way through the year, let’s take a minute during this bye week to see how the different aspects of the team stack up statistically.
The Bearcats are in the thick of the Big 12 race right now and are doing it with a very different roster than Baylor saw two years ago at Nippert. Who’s driving them now and how experienced or athletic are they? How did they build their roster?
How different is what TCU runs than the "classic" Briles system that Baylor featured from 2011-2016? How has DC Andy Avalos adapted his 3-4 scheme? What weak points can Baylor attack and who wins this edition of the Revivalry?
How good is TCU? Are they more of the team that dominated UNC & SMU or the team that lost by 17 to KSU? What can the numbers tell us about Baylor's Revivalry opponent?
KSU has been very up and down this season and does it have to do with how they attack? KSU has shifted some of their schemes this fall and presents some new challenges for Baylor.
