If we are basing anything on last season, Spencer Sanders doesn’t need to be perfect to beat Baylor. In fact, he doesn’t need to play that clean of a game.
In two meetings with the Bears last season, Sander threw just one touchdown to seven interceptions. That’s ugly. In his other 11 games in 2021, that ratio ran at 19:5. His passer rating against Baylor in two games was 101.7 compared to the 140.1 he produced against everyone else.
So it would be easy to say that the Bears really have Sanders’ number. But despite all that ugly, he nearly had theirs.
