Baylor coach Dave Aranda is quickly learning the difference between being a defensive coordinator and head man. Now the rookie is getting a baptism under fire. Saturday’s College Football betting Games loss was over early. Also throwing a monkey wrench into Aranda’s plans was COVID-19. It prevented his ability to implement a new system. This week does not get any easier for Aranda and his Bears. Iowa State has a landmark home win this year over Oklahoma. However, ISU has losses against Louisiana and Oklahoma State. So far quarterback Brock Purdy has been good but not great.
