With the new redshirt rule in place for college football, that allows players to play in four games in a season and still redshirt, younger players have more opportunities to play without wasting a year of eligibility. Baylor head coach Matt Rhule has utilized this to the benefit of the team, giving younger players valuable experience on the field and a chance to prove themselves to the coaching staff.
In the Kansas State game, due to running backs sophomore John Lovett and junior JaMycal Hasty being out for most of the game, the majority of the rushing load was put onto sophomore running back Trestan Ebner, who rushed 17 times for 100 yards, his career best at Baylor.
