Texas State Bobcats at Baylor Bears
Saturday, 6:00 p.m. CT, ESPN+
Baylor has a new offensive coordinator and is coming off a season in which the defense performed uncharacteristically badly. The Bears are just one year removed from finishing in the top ten of most defensive categories and winning a Big 12 title. Quarterback Blake Shapen was iffy last season, but Texas State simply does not have enough skill players to compete with BU here.
Final Score Prediction: 42-10, Baylor
