Head coach Guy Morriss and his Baylor Bears won their first road game in 24 tries when they beat SMU. In addition they picked up their first Big 12 win ever when they embarrassed Iowa State. The Bears were really close to going bowling this year, and it would have been their first since 1993, if it wasn't for a few close overtime losses. Coach Morriss's winning reputation follows him from Kentucky where he turned around the Kentucky Wildcats.

The Bears lose too much defensively, so odds are they won't go bowling. A mediocre season is expected but you can bet head coach Morriss will continue to push the limits and do a great job in Waco.

The 12 starters coming back from last season's team are mainly from the offensive unit which will help them cream the 21.5 PPG they averaged last year. Offensive coordinator Lee Hays and senior quarterback Shawn Bell have some great personnel to work with in the wide receiving units and the best offensive line in years.

Defensively it doesn‚t look so good however with a number of key people gone this year. Special team kickers like punter Daniel Sepulveda (Ray Guy Winner) and place kicker Ryan Havens are back this year but they are missing a return man.
