Episode Details

Baylor Bears face a season-defining clash against Arizona State Sun Devils, with Cam Stuart spotlighting why this pivotal Big 12 matchup could determine Dave Aranda’s future and the program’s postseason hopes. Is the Arizona State game truly more crucial than the Auburn opener or the TCU rivalry? Cam Stuart breaks down the implications for Baylor football, key returning players like CJ Fite, and the must-win dynamics that could shape the Bears’ bowl prospects.

The episode also previews Baylor’s men’s basketball showdown against UCF—spotlighting X-factor Jordan Burks—and revisits the high-stakes Baylor women’s matchup with TCU for Big 12 supremacy. Can Baylor flip the script and regain their edge against top conference rivals?
