When a football team’s offense lines up inside the 20-yard line, its chances of scoring greatly increase; for the Baylor Bears, however, this aspect of the game has given them problems.

Baylor must be having flashbacks to last week’s game against Oklahoma State, as once again missed opportunities and poor red zone play are costing the Bears a potential lead. The score is not nearly as bad, however, but Missouri still leads 14-13.

No unit for Baylor football has been in flux more than the secondary. Injuries have forced younger players to step up and some to even change positions, bringing chaos to a group that already came into this year with a ton of pressure to improve.

The Bears will look to do something this weekend on the football field they have not done since 1939. That feat would be coming out of Stillwater, Okla. with a victory. The Bears (4-2, 1-2), will battle the No. 3 overall ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys (7-0, 4-0) at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla.

In six games this season, junior wide receiver Terrance Williams has already equaled his touchdown total from last season. He has four scores on the year and his 352 receiving yards this season has proved to him to be another weapon for junior quarterback Robert Griffin III and the already explosive Baylor offense.

If the rivalry wasn’t heated enough, throw in the conference realignment fiasco that took place in September. Kyle field threatens a hostile environment for Baylor, but the Bears are ready for the Aggies.
