It only took Baylor football one game to match its 2023 home win total.
The bar wasn’t high. After an abysmal 2023 that saw just one home victory (and a miserably rainy one at that), fan enthusiasm cratered. Nevertheless, head coach Dave Aranda embraced a new vision for Baylor football, featuring a high-flying offense, a bevy of new transfers and a defense orchestrated by Aranda himself. Early returns look promising.
“To have a lot of our transfers come in and under the bright lights in the big city and go out and make plays, and consistently make plays, and bringing a swagger and all of it to the team, that was cool to see,” Aranda said after the Bears’ 45-3 victory over Tarleton State.
