Baylor Bears
The Baylor Bears, under Head Coach Dave Aranda, have experienced a recent decline in performance after winning the BIG12 conference Championship in 2021. Following a disappointing season, the team made changes to the offensive coaching staff and signed dual-threat QB Dequan Finn to improve their offense. In their first game of the season against Tarleton State, the Bears showed promising signs with a 45-3 victory, covering the spread and displaying a strong defensive performance. Despite some turnovers, Finn showcased his talent with a notable 40-yard touchdown run. The team's running game and passing game both showed potential, with multiple receivers making contributions. Coach Aranda sees the win as a fresh start for Baylor and is optimistic about the team's future. Currently, Baylor is ranked 116 in power ranking with a 0 ranking in offense and defense, and holds a 0-0 record this season.
