With strong offensive play and real issues with the defense, Baylor knocked off Abilene Christian 55-27. The Bears have matched last season’s win total and won a home game for the first time since October of 2016.
We’ll start with what went well. Baylor has two quarterbacks that can play. Charlie Brewer, the reigning Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year, seemed destined to win the starting job. He did start. But he hasn’t locked up the position.
Jalan McClendon played spectacularly. He started 10-of-12 for 173 yards and two touchdowns. He threw a nice dime to Trestan Ebner and seemed to find open targets all night.
