The Baylor Bears and West Virginia Mountaineers are playing on the FOX Sports 1 college football schedule and the Big 12 conference game comes from Milan Puskar Stadium as BU at number four in the nation takes on WVU on the road and the game is streaming live from the Fox Sports Go website at 12 pm noon for kickoff.
Baylor comes into the game in first place in the Big 12 and they are 6-0 this season and number four in the nation as they visit Morgantown and that is a tough place to play. The team is ranked sixth in the nation in passing yards per game and they are averaging over 370 yards and they also have been rushing the ball well after losing Lache Seastrunk, as they are 16th in rushing yards per game. Baylor can score as well as anyone and they have shown that was over 50 points per game and they are first in the nation in points per game.
The defense has been holding up for the most part at 24th ranked in the nation at points allowed per game, but last week was a mess. The shootout with TCU saw Baylor win 61-58 and now they come back and hit the road against West Virginia. The Mountaineers are 4-2 this season overall and 2-1 in the conference, while Baylor is 3-0 in the Big 12 and after this they have an easier game against Kansas.
Quarterback Bryce Petty is putting together a nice season with 1534 yards and 15 touchdowns this season and he is a player that can light things up every time he gets on the field. The Bears have two of the next three games on the road and after playing against Kansas they have a matchup with number 11 Oklahoma in Norman. The team has back to back games against top 15 teams and they also end the season with three ranked teams in the final four weeks.
Oklahoma comes ahead of a home game with Oklahoma State and then the team plays against Texas Tech at a neutral field. The final game of the season is against Kansas State and that will be at home and Baylor has a very good chance to make it into the playoff if they run the table. The team would have the wins over quality teams and they could be very tough to beat with that offense. West Virginia comes in as the seventh ranked team in the nation in passing yards and that means this game could turn into a shootout.
The Mountaineers are ranked in the top 30 in scoring this season and they come in after winning over the Texas Tech last week in a close game. West Virginia has Oklahoma State on the road next week and they have played some wild games this season.
