Episode Details

Baylor Bears quarterback DJ Lagway tops college football’s bounce-back candidate list, igniting optimism for a revitalized season in Waco. Can Lagway, with a fresh cast of offensive weapons and coordinator Jake Spavital at the helm, return to his high-ceiling form after a rocky stint in the SEC?
