Baylor's dominance this season has allowed Jarrett Stidham to see action in all seven games this season.
Baylor got an extra week to get over the shock of Seth Russell's injury and get a freshman quarterback prepared to lead it on its push for the playoffs.
A year after leading his high school team to the Texas state playoffs, Jarrett Stidham is tasked with taking the second-ranked Bears the rest of the way, beginning Thursday night at Kansas State.
The bye week couldn't come at a much better time for Baylor and its sudden transition in starting quarterbacks.
