No. 17 Baylor football beat Texas State to climb back above .500, but Drake wasn't all that impressed with the way the Bears performed. The Green and Gold struggled mightily in the first half, and the team was dangerously close to a 14-14 score at the break rather than the actual 21-7 lead. Dave Aranda even mentioned in the press conference that the team was tense at halftime and needed a breather.
Of course, everything did come together in the end. Baylor tallied 293 yards on the ground and put up 42 points. That's awesome. However, Blake Shapen was still anything but pristine. Shapen finished a mediocre 15/26 passing with 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception. For the second week in a row, he just didn't look like the truth.
Nonetheless, the defense was good. The secondary played much better. Texas State only had 82 rush yards. Three of their ball carriers had negative yardage. That part was great. But there's still a lot to tweak before heading into the teeth of Big 12 play this Saturday.
