How to watch Baylor football host No. 13 Utah

After getting last week off for its second bye, Baylor is back in action on Saturday. The Bears return to McLane Stadium after taking down UCF two weeks ago. But this time, it will be a great challenge to come away with a win.

Baylor hosts No. 13 Utah, a team that is competing for a College Football Playoff spot. The Utes have one of the top rushing attacks in college football and Baylor's defense will need to play its best game of the season.

Offensively, Baylor's Sawyer Robertson will be going up against a Utah defense that plays a ton of man coverage. TE Michael Trigg could be in store for a big game as a matchup nightmare.

The Bears will be facing Utah for the first time in a Big 12 game. Meetings in 2022 and 2023 came as non-conference games, both a pair of Utes wins.

Baylor has won nine of its last 12 Big 12 Conference games, dating back to a 2024 six-game win streak to conclude the year. The Bears have won 11 of their last 16 games, with lone losses to Auburn, LSU, TCU, No. 21 Cincinnati and defending league champion Arizona State on a walk-off field goal.

QB Sawyer Robertson is the nation’s leading returner in QBR (83.7), after ranking fifth nationally last year. Robertson slung 28 TDs and threw for 3,071 yards in his first season as a near full-time starter, taking over in week 3.
