On today’s episode of the 3rd Down Analysis Podcast, I start the BYU Opponent Preview series with a data-driven deep dive into the Baylor Bears, BYU’s second Big 12 opponent. I walk through the 30,000 foot view of the Baylor program. I preview the key stories on their offense, and then the key stories on the defense.

I walk you through more data than I can possibly fit into one episode and highlight where Baylor may be vulnerable to defeat at the hands of the Cougars.

Then, I pivot and address a concern that I have about the BYU WR position, “Is there a true #1 WR on the roster?”
