Can Baylor Bears Bounce Back Against Tarleton State Texans at McLane Stadium?

The Baylor Bears have had a challenging season, with their performance in recent games leaving much to be desired.

In their last outing on November 25 against the West Virginia Mountaineers, the Bears fell short in a closely contested game, ending with a score of 34-31. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways from the game that suggest potential for improvement. The defense managed to force one fumble and held its ground without allowing any sacks. Offensively, quarterback Sawyer Robertson completed an impressive 89 percent of his passes for 215 yards and one touchdown. The rushing attack also contributed with Dominic Richardson finding the end zone once.


Comparatively, in previous games against TCU Horned Frogs and Kansas State Wildcats, Baylor's performance was less inspiring. Against TCU on November 18th, they suffered a heavy defeat with a final score of 42-17. Their defense struggled significantly in this matchup but managed one sack and forced one fumble which they recovered—a small consolation in an otherwise disappointing display.


The game against Kansas State Wildcats on November 11th further highlighted areas needing improvement as Baylor succumbed to a heavy loss of 59-25. Despite scoring four passing touchdowns through Blake Shapen who threw for 253 yards despite three sacks against him; turnovers proved costly with three lost fumbles contributing heavily to their downfall.


Looking ahead to the match against Tarleton State Texans scheduled for August 31st at McLane Stadium at Waco TX USA; it is crucial that Baylor capitalizes on its strengths while addressing weaknesses exposed in previous outings—particularly ball security and defensive resilience under pressure.


Given these considerations; it is reasonable to believe that if Baylor can harness its offensive capabilities demonstrated by Robertson’s passing accuracy alongside Richardson’s rushing potential while tightening up defensively; they stand a good chance of securing victory over TSU.


This upcoming encounter offers more than just another fixture on the calendar—it represents hope; redemption; and potentially; resurgence for BBAY as they seek not only victory but also momentum heading into future contests.
