Two weeks ago, Baylor lost for the first time on the season when they were beaten 41-27 on the road by West Virginia. They had just 95 rushing yards in that loss and they were only able to convert three of their 16 third down chances.

Through seven games, the Bears have been able to score 49 points per game, which is second-best in the country right now.
