Some people around the nation aren’t expecting big things from Baylor, but I am not one of those people. I see Matt Rhule’s bunch taking a big stride forward in 2019 and contending for a spot in the top half of the Big 12.
Charlie Brewer will enter his third year as the starting quarterback and he’s flown under the radar to this point. He could potentially be one of the best quarterbacks in this league and will have no shortage of receivers to spread the ball to. Receivers Denzel Mims and Chris Platt will be a problem to cover, and defenses will need to game-plan for JaMychal Hasty in the run game.
The Bears won’t have a daunting defense — duh — but with the offensive firepower available, that may not be too big of an issue. In 2019, Baylor could return to form as that classic Big 12 team that wins by outrunning you.
