Only months after winning their first ever Big 12 Championship, Baylor was represented well in the 2014 NFL Draft. In all, five Baylor players were selected, pushing Baylor’s draft totals since 2011 to 14 players drafted, the most in the state of Texas over that span.
The subject on the sports talk show was both shocking and perplexing, but it probably serves as a good illustration for discussing the upcoming NFL draft.
Expectations abound for Baylor football after unexpectedly beating the odds to win the 2013 Big 12 Championship in the final game at Floyd Casey Stadium, the first Big 12 Championship in program history. For the first time in recent memory, Baylor has the target on its back.

There isn’t any grass on the field at McLane Stadium, and few seats have been placed in the stands, yet project managers said they are sure in four months Baylor football will have its new home.
In front of an estimated crowd of 3,750 fans, Baylor football took part in its annual spring scrimmage at the Highers Athletic Complex Saturday to give Baylor fans a preview of Baylor’s 2014 squad.
Former Baylor football player, Tevin Sherard Elliott, 22, was denied his plea for a retrial Monday and will continue to serve a 20-year prison sentence for two counts of sexual assault, according to a court official.
Baylor football enters spring 2014 as the defending Big 12 Champions for the first time in program history. With a target on their backs, the Bears prepare to display their 2014 squad to the public for Baylor’s annual spring football game at 11 a.m. Saturday.
College football fans are divided on a proposed rule amendment by the NCAA Football Rules Committee that could slow down the no-huddle offense.
The proposed rule change, spearheaded by Alabama coach Nick Saban and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema, would make it a penalty to snap the ball until 29 seconds remain on the 40-second play clock. If the ball is snapped before 29 seconds, a delay-of-game penalty will be assessed. This rule was proposed under the theory that lessening the number of plays in a game could lessen the injury risk of the game.
A 2010 Baylor alumna testified Wednesday that while she was a student, former Baylor football player Tevin Sherard Elliott, 22, sexually assaulted her.
After a tough loss on New Year’s Day in the Fiesta Bowl, it can become easy to forget the significance of Baylor football’s season.
Baylor’s 52-42 loss to the University of Central Florida in the Fiesta Bowl can be summed up pretty concisely. After looking at the stat sheet, the number of penalties and penalty yards stand out. What the stat sheet doesn’t show, however, is the number of missed tackles that helped UCF get the ball down the field.
No. 6 Baylor football came into the 43rd annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl as double-digit favorites over No. 15 University of Central Florida. By the time the dust cleared, UCF had pulled one of the biggest upsets of the year with a 52-42 win over the Bears on New Year’s Day.

Thousands of Baylor fans converged on the Scottsdale Plaza Inn in sunny Arizona to celebrate the accomplishments of a historic season and celebrate the first ever BCS bowl appearance in school history at the Baylor Fiesta Bowl pep rally.
After nearly a month off the field, No. 6 Baylor football (11-1, 8-1) has made the trek to the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale to play No. 15 University of Central Florida (11-1, 8-0) in the 43rd annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.

Kansas comes into this game fresh off a crushing loss to the Baylor Bears last Saturday. The Bears destroyed Kansas in every aspect of the game, winning 59-14 in Lawrence, Kan. The Jayhawks rank 101 in total defense with 450.7 yards of total offense allowed. Kansas is also 99 in rushing defense, allowing 203 yards rushing per game. The offense has been even worse. There is a big question mark at the quarterback position, as Jake Heaps has compiled less than 1,000 total yards through seven games. Kansas ranks 117 in the country with 290.6 yards of total offense per game. The Jayhawks are also 116 with only 17.7 points per game.
When we go to football games, we root for our team. We cheer to the extent of encouraging our team to “kill” the other, all in good fun of course. Baylor is certainly no stranger to whooping another team by way of points, especially this season. We, however, have never been accused of bullying.
After surviving a 35-25 road win over Kansas State earlier in the season, the Baylor Bears set out to win with authority as the away team against the Kansas Jayhawks on Saturday in Lawrence, Kan.
The Bears left no doubt in this road matchup by throttling the Jayhawks 59-14 in a strong showing by the Bears on the road.
Fresh off of a 71-7 homecoming dismantling of Iowa State, No. 8 Baylor (6-0, 3-0) looks to get its seventh straight win against the Kansas Jayhawks (2-4, 0-3) in Lawrence on Saturday.
It was only a year ago when fans called for the firing of Baylor’s defensive coordinator Phil Bennett, as he faced constant scrutiny. The defense left a lot to be desired after giving up more than 519 yards per game through the first nine games of 2012.
Nov. 17, 2012, everything changed.
The Baylor Bears’ record-setting season has created an influx of students at The Case.
The homecoming game against Iowa State produced the second-largest student crowd Floyd Casey Stadium has ever had, with 8,900 students attending. This is just behind the 2011 University of Texas game, where 9,000 students showed up.
