Second-year results are going much better for Baylor coach Dave Aranda. Baylor wisely gave Aranda a pandemic pass for his rookie 2020 campaign. Now we are seeing what attracted the Bears to Aranda. Baylor is one of the most fundamentally sound teams in the country. Specifically, the Bears run the ball effectively and play tough defense. That remains the tried-and-true formula for NCAA Football betting success. This week the Bears host a disappointing TCU team. Since 2017 this once national power has stumbled upon hard times. Gary Patterson, the GOAT of TCU coaches, is out after 21 years.
