Baylor football knows it can’t overlook FCS Long Island this weekend. The Bears (0-2) opened the year as 26.5-point favorites against Texas State and wound up losing 42-31 at home. Baylor then squandered a 10-point second-half lead against No. 12 Utah, losing 20-13 last Saturday at McLane Stadium.
Head coach Dave Aranda said he and his team are in no position to expect a win and that “everything has to be earned.”
