A slow first half may have been the reason No. 16 Baylor football came up short 36-25 to No. 9 Oklahoma State on Saturday, and now the team has an opportunity to use its bye week to step up its tempo and continue developing its identity.
The Bears actually outscored the Cowboys in the second half, 22-20, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a 15-point deficit from the first half. Head coach Dave Aranda said the way his team started was disappointing, but after halftime things improved.
“I’m proud of our team for the second half that we had, and the ability to start that third quarter with some motion and some energy, which, frankly, was missing from the first and second quarter,” Aranda said.
