As we come up on the 2015 season opener, it's fun to look back at an impactful season opener that took place on this date just four short years ago.
It was September 2, 2011, and the Baylor Bears were set to open up their most anticipated season in recent memory against the 14th ranked and defending Rose Bowl champion TCU Horned Frogs. ESPN was in town for this Friday night affair, a rare national TV spotlight game for Baylor at the time. The Frogs were riding a 25 game regular season winning streak with consecutive undefeated regular seasons in the Mountain West Conference under their belts.
