Kickoff Time and TV Details Announced for BYU At Baylor

BYU will get another afternoon kickoff time when they travel to Waco to take on Baylor Saturday, October 16. Kickoff will be at 2:30 CT and the game will be on ESPN or ESPN2. Network selection will be determined after this weekend’s games on 10/9.

BYU hosts 2-3 Boise State Saturday while Baylor hosts 2-3 West Virginia. Baylor is 4-1 and is coming off its first loss of the season at Oklahoma State, which knocked them out of the top 25. The Bears are a 3-point home favorite versus the Mountaineers.

Baylor is coached by Dave Aranda and the offense is conducted by former BYU OC Jeff Grimes. Grimes has done a nice job with the Baylor offense, leading a run-first attack with solid QB play. Gerry Bohanan has thrown for 966 yard, 7 touchdowns and 0 interceptions with a 67% completion percentage. The Bears have 3 running backs they lean on, led by Abram Smith who has run for 510 yards.

This is the first game of a home-and-home series that Baylor will return in Provo in 2022, which of course precedes BYU joining the Big 12 in 2023.
