Craig Smoak recaps all the storylines from the last week of Baylor Athletics

The No. 4 TCU Horned Frogs (11-0, 8-0) beat the Baylor Bears (6-5, 4-4) in heartbreaking fashion by a score of 29-28 on Saturday afternoon at McLane Stadium.

In his bi-weekly sitdown with David Smoak, Baylor head football coach Dave Aranda offered great insight into how he wants the team to respond from KSU. Craig Smoak recaps the major points.

Baylor massively struggled in this game. On defense, a combination of missed alignments, technique, and other errors, made the short stuff way too easy. On offense, K-State bet that Baylor would not be able to consistently execute over the middle of the field.

The No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats (7-3, 5-2) soundly beat the Baylor Bears (6-4, 4-3) by a score of 31-3 on Saturday night at McLane Stadium.

QB Blake Shapen, plus WR Josh Cameron and K Noah Rauschenberg met with the media to preview the KSU game. Here are the highlights.

Kansas State will be the best defense Baylor has played since Iowa State. Coming into the season, most advanced stat systems figured them as a very solid but not great unit, but they’ve far exceeded expectations.

Baylor's reliability on offense has been the difference during its three-game winning streak.

Baylor didn’t play well. But college players tend not to every week. What separates great teams is their ability to grit those wins out. Baylor hasn’t done so previously this year, but they did in Norman.

Baylor had every reason to fold. They prevailed.

Junior running back Craig “Sqwirl” Williams carried the offense in the victory, rushing for a career-high 192 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries.

The Bears were able to silence some critics, as well as the Texas Tech crowd, last week as they ran all through the Red Raiders in the land of dust and cactus. Freshman sensation Richard Reese had another outstanding performance, as he rushed for 148 yards and 3TD.
