No. 10 Bears defense holds strong in Halloween victory

By DJ Ramirez | Sports Editor

Another defensive battle, another slow offensive game. In the end, the then No. 12 Baylor football team still managed to scrape out a 17-14 win in a strange Halloween game against West Virginia.

On a night when the offensive line and special teams played under the standard set by head coach Matt Rhule, Baylor’s defense continued to be elite, especially in the fourth quarter.

“They are a tough, resilient group,” Rhule said. “We are still learning that it’s okay just to play defense and not worry; if the offense is not clicking, it doesn’t matter, keep playing defense.
