Winners of three in a row, the Baylor Bears now face a stiff test with the No. 19 Kansas State Wildcats coming to town.

The Bears come off a 38-35 victory against Oklahoma, only the program's second victory in Norman. The Wildcats fell to the Texas Longhorns 34-27 at home last week.

Both teams have two losses in the Big 12 this year, so whomever loses this matchup will all but be eliminated as the Bears, Wildcats and Longhorns all have the same amount of conference losses.

The Bears have won four in a row in the series dating back to 2017. In each of the last two matchups, however, Wildcats running back Deuce Vaughn has gone for over 100 yards. Baylor running back Richard Reese is 84 yards away from setting the program's freshman single season rushing record.
