Episode Details

Baylor Bears face a pivotal early-season test against Arizona State Sun Devils as DJ Lagway looks to prove he’s the breakout quarterback fans have been waiting for. Will Jake Spavital’s revamped offense propel Baylor past its recent woes, or will Arizona State’s stacked running back room and improved front seven expose lingering defensive weaknesses? The battle in Tempe could define both teams’ trajectories—and the pressure on Dave Aranda’s defense has never been higher.

Cam Stuart and Philip Mulford dissect roster overhauls, including Baylor’s unproven receiving corps and Arizona State’s quarterback depth. Insights on key players like Cutter Boley, Owen Long, and CJ Fite highlight position battles that may tip the scales. Turnovers, running defense, and coaching hot seats dominate the conversation as both programs seek to establish a new identity in Big 12 play. Will Baylor’s offense click, or will Arizona State’s home opener spell another setback?
