Broadcast details for November 14 games are finalized and BYU’s home game against Baylor on will kick off at 1:30pm MT on FOX at LaVell Edwards Stadium in Provo.
Both teams sit at 4-2 in Big 12 play, so this essentially is a de facto elimination game for a spot in the Big 12 Championship Game. The winner keeps its title-game hopes alive heading into the final two weeks of the regular season.
Baylor is playing its best
football of the year. The Bears beat Iowa State 42-31 Saturday in Waco for their sixth win in their last eight games, moving them to 6-3 on the season. It was also Baylor’s second straight win under interim coach Joe Klanderman since Dave Aranda was fired.
QB DJ Lagway is the guy to watch. The Florida transfer threw for 229 yards and two touchdowns against Iowa State and ran for a career-high 119 yards and another score. Lagaway is showing flashes of the 5-star talent he was out of high school and will be the main task for BYU’s defense.
BYU is 7-2 on the season and also needs a win to keep its at-large CFP hopes alive. On paper, this is the toughest remaining game for BYU.
