The Baylor Bears are scheduled to travel to Provo to face No. 12 BYU on Saturday, Nov. 14, at 2:30 p.m. CT. The matchup at LaVell Edwards Stadium features two teams tied in the Big 12 Conference standings with 4-2 conference records.
The game will be broadcast on FOX with Jack Kizer providing play-by-play and Mark Helfrich serving as analyst. The Baylor Sports Media Network will broadcast the game live via the Voice of the Bears, featuring John Morris, Geff Gandy, and Bryson Jackson.
Baylor enters the contest following a 42-31 homecoming victory over Iowa State. During that game, quarterback DJ Lagway recorded 229 passing yards and 119 rushing yards, including one rushing touchdown. The Bears' offense also featured a rushing touchdown from freshman Ryelan Morris and a 62-yard touchdown pass from Lagway to Taz Williams Jr.
The Cougars enter the game following a 28-20 loss to No. 3 Utah. BYU is currently averaging 31 points and 397.1 yards of total offense per game, while allowing 19.8 points and 302 yards per game. Quarterback Bear Bachmeier leads the BYU offense with 2,022 passing yards and 13 touchdowns on the season.
The matchup comes amid a coaching transition for Baylor, which recently named first-year defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman to an interim role. This follows the decision by Baylor Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Doug McNamec to relieve head coach Dave Aranda of his duties following consecutive losses to TCU and Kansas.
Following the game against BYU, Baylor is scheduled to return home to host No. 13 Texas Tech at McLane Stadium on Nov. 21.
