Gamblers know not to underestimate Baylor Bears head coach Dave Aranda. In 2020 Aranda’s rookie College Football odds season was ruined by COVID-19. Baylor flopped miserably without the ability to implement Aranda’s system. However, in 2021, the mild-mannered Aranda showed what he could do. Baylor won the Big 12 Conference championship and the Sugar Bowl. Now Aranda’s program is thriving. Baylor opened the season ranked in the top ten. But Saturday brings a tough game at the BYU Cougars. Next year BYU will join the Big 12 Conference and will become rivals with Baylor.

The Baylor Bears are coming off a 69-10 win over Albany as 42.5-point home favorites. Also, the game went over the total of 45.5. Quarterback Blake Shapen completed 17 of 20 passes for 214 yards with two long touchdowns. And he engineered an impressive dive into the end zone for another score on the first half’s final play. From there, the Bears routed FCS Albany.
Gavin Holmes, the sixth-year Bears wideout who missed last season because of a foot injury, returned a punt 72 yards for a score. At the same time, Monaray Baldwin had two touchdowns. First was a 47-yard catch for Baylor’s initial score. He later added a 50-yard reverse run after halftime.
Now the defending Big 12 champion Bears have a six-game winning streak. That matches fourth-ranked Clemson for the longest active among FBS teams. Namely, Shapen’s 1-yard TD run gave Baylor a 35-7 halftime lead. Shapen swept to the right sideline and dived toward the end zone.
