Baylor Bears Fall to Iowa State Cyclones at Jack Trice Stadium in Football Showdown
The Baylor Bears faced a challenging game against the Iowa State Cyclones, concluding with a 14-28 score. The Bears now stand with a record of 0-1, while the Cyclones celebrate their victory with a 1-0 standing.
At Jack Trice Stadium, the Baylor Bears demonstrated significant offensive efforts despite falling short against the Iowa State Cyclones. The Bears' passing game was notable, accumulating a total of 359 yards through the air. Quarterback performance was impressive, boasting a passer rating of nearly 137 and completing over half of their passes at an average of about seven yards per attempt. The longest pass completed stretched for 43 yards, contributing to their total offensive yardage which peaked at just under 500.
The receiving corps played an integral role in moving chains for the Bears, securing receptions that led to both touchdowns scored by the team. Their ability to gain substantial yardage after catches was evident as they matched passing yards exactly with yards after catch.
On special teams, Baylor's kick return unit managed to amass close to 100 yards on six returns; however, they were unable to break free for any scoring plays. In contrast, field goal attempts proved fruitless as both tries were missed by the kicking squad.
Penalties seemed controlled as only seven infractions were called against them resulting in seventy penalty yards; this discipline may have been one silver lining in an otherwise tough contest.
Looking ahead for fans of the Baylor Bears: The team will be hosting TCU Horned Frogs at McLane Stadium on November 17th at noon local time (5 PM UTC). This upcoming game can be caught live on Fox Sports 1 for those eager to see how Baylor responds following this setback.
