Keys to the game
One of our keys to the game for Baylor is to slow down KSU QB Avery Johnson. The dual-threat signal caller can make life hard on the defense. But if the Bears can slow him down, that would take away most of the Wildcats' offense.
"One thing that made Avery Johnson so dangerous last season was his ability to beat defenses with his legs. He ran for over 600 yards and seven touchdowns, and while he hasn't been as mobile as many expected this year, that doesn't mean he can't hurt you.
"The Bears struggled to stop Jackson Arnold in Week 1, giving up over 100 yards to Auburn's starting quarterback. Since then, they haven't really faced a super mobile quarterback, so they haven't been tested again. This week, the Bears need to make sure Johnson doesn't get out and run, because if he does, it makes the Wildcats much harder to defend."
