Baylor Bears
Baylor’s offense has been one of the most dangerous in the Big 12 behind quarterback Sawyer Robertson, who ranks second nationally in total touchdowns (23) and first in passing yards per game (339.4). Robertson has thrown for 2,376 yards and 21 touchdowns, consistently pushing the ball downfield with precision.
The Bears average 36.3 points per game, but defensive struggles have limited their consistency — they’ve allowed 31.4 points per contest. Despite the setback at TCU, the Bears rallied late to nearly complete a comeback, showcasing their resilience and offensive firepower.
Wideout Josh Cameron leads the team with 40 receptions for 542 yards, while tight end Michael Trigg provides red-zone reliability. Coach Dave Aranda continues to push for a more explosive ground game to balance out their passing attack heading into this critical conference matchup

Cincinnati Bearcats
Cincinnati has emerged as one of the most balanced teams in the Big 12, led by quarterback Brendan Sorsby — the nation’s leader in total touchdowns (24). Sorsby’s 91.9 PFF grade and 85.0 QBR both rank first in the conference, while his 14.4 yards per completion show the Bearcats’ ability to attack vertically.
In their 49-17 victory over Oklahoma State, Sorsby threw for 270 yards and the defense dominated, forcing two turnovers and allowing just 149 passing yards. Running back Evan Pryor continues to be a steady contributor, adding 412 rushing yards and three touchdowns this season.
Coach Scott Satterfield’s squad is bowl-eligible for the first time since 2022 and carries a 4-1 home record. Cincinnati is also 20-5 on Homecoming since 2000, and the program’s confidence continues to grow behind a high-octane offense and opportunistic defense.
