Fresh off a game in which its defense held a team featuring the nation’s leading running back and the Big 12’s leading receiver in check, the Texas Tech football team must now contend with one of the nation’s highest-scoring offenses, Baylor. Whether or not the Red Raider defense can again rise to the challenge will likely determine the outcome of this key Big 12 matchup.
Putting up 38.8 points per game, the Bears rank No. 19 in the nation in scoring. But that number might have been a bit inflated by poor early-season competition.
In recent weeks, the Bears have knocked off Iowa State and Kansas State to move to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in conference play.
