The Baylor Bears and West Virginia Mountaineers are playing live on the Big 12 college football schedule on Saturday and the game from McLane Stadium starts up at 12 pm ET on Fox with TV coverage. The Bears are ranked number two in the nation and the live stream is from Fox Sports Go as the Bears try and stay undefeated.
Last year West Virginia had the upset in this game and that put Baylor out of position for the national title and now the team is looking for some revenge. Baylor has been putting up great offensive numbers all season and the team now is hoping to get a win here after giving up 14 points last year in the fourth quarter to lose against the Mountaineers. That loss was the major sticking point for Baylor and they ended up fifth in the rankings going into the playoff, which meant the outside looking in. Baylor has been running it up this season and the team is outscoring other teams by an average of 40 points per game.
The team demolished Kansas last week and now Seth Russell is looking to lead his team to another win on Saturday. Russell has 22 TD passes this season and he is coming in after playing the first half in the last game and not needing to play the rest. Corey Coleman has had a strong season and he comes in with 13 TDs on the year and he had two last week and he has done that on just 31 catches.
The Baylor defense needs to hold tight and with the offense playing so well, they have not needed to do that much this season. But with the Big 12 schedule heating up, the defense needs to start holding opponents down and that starts with West Virginia. West Va has lost two in a row and the team comes in after back to back defeats against Oklahoma State and Oklahoma. The team has two very tough games coming up and they are both on the road with number two Baylor and number three TCU.
West Va has Texas Tech, Texas and Kansas after that before finishing the season with Iowa State and Kansas State. Baylor, OK State and TCU are all undefeated this season and Baylor comes in after winning huge with over 60 points scored in four straight games, including against Texas Tech and Kansas. Baylor has Iowa State and Kansas State next before playing against Oklahoma and OK State. The team then plays TCU in what could be the deciding game for the conference, while Texas is next on the schedule to end the season.
