Through 3 Quarters
The Baylor Bears are on the board, but we’re still waiting on the Texas Southern Tigers to respond. Three quarters in and Baylor’s offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating Texas Southern 52 to nothing three quarters in.
The Bears have been led by QB Gerry Bohanon, who so far has passed for three TDs and 247 yards on 23 attempts in addition to punching in two rushing touchdowns. The Tigers have been relying on RB Jacorey Howard, who has picked up 44 yards on the ground on six carries, and QB Andrew Body, who has picked up 33 yards on the ground.

What to Know
The Texas Southern Tigers will square off against the Baylor Bears at 7 p.m. ET Saturday at McLane Stadium. Baylor will be strutting in after a win while the Tigers will be stumbling in from a loss.
Texas Southern was expected to have a tough go of it last week, and, well, they did. They found themselves the reluctant recipients of an unpleasant 40-17 punch to the gut against the Prairie View A&M Panthers. Texas Southern was down 30-10 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Baylor decided to play defense against itself last week, but the team still came out ahead despite their 89 penalty yards. They beat the Texas State Bobcats 29-20. Among those leading the charge for Baylor was LB Abram Smith, who rushed for two TDs and 118 yards on 19 carries.
Texas Southern’s defeat took them down to 0-1 while Baylor’s victory pulled them up to 1-0. A win for the Tigers would reverse both their bad luck and Baylor’s good luck. We’ll see if Texas Southern manages to pull off that tough task or if the Bears keep their momentum going instead.
