OCT 31 BIG 12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Gabe Hall, Baylor, DL, Jr.,...Hall led the charge defensively for Baylor in its 45-17 win at Texas Tech, recording three sacks for a loss of 24 yards. The junior DL recorded half of BU's six sacks by himself, as the Bears constantly found pressure on Tech's trio of quarterbacks throughout the game. Six sacks were Baylor's most in a game this season. Hall also recorded a QB hurry, as BU snatched five interceptions in the game, its most in a contest since 1989 vs. TCU. - Big 12 Football

10/29/22 - Richard Reese, Sr/2026, Baylor, 5-09, 181 (DS#58 RB) + More +

Freshman Richard Reese ran for 148 yards and three touchdowns, AJ McCarty returned an interception for a score and Baylor beat Texas Tech 45-17 on Saturday night. Second among NCAA freshmen in yards rushing coming in, Reese had 53 of the 75 yards on a drive to his tiebreaking 1-yard TD in the second quarter as Baylor (5-3, 3-2 Big 12) dominated time of possession. Baylor ended a 10-game losing streak in Lubbock while handing Texas Tech (4-4, 2-3) its first home loss under coach Joey McGuire, the lifelong Texan who was a Baylor assistant the past five seasons. On a night Texas Tech celebrated star Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes as its eighth ring of honor member, the Red Raiders ended up throwing five interceptions while trying all of their top three QBs.

Tyler Shough entered trailing 31-17 in the fourth quarter for the first time since injuring his shoulder as the opening day starter, and McCarty stepped in front of his first pass and ran untouched 18 yards down the sideline. Freshman Behren Morton was 4 of 17 with two interceptions and three sacks after a pick in the first minute of the second half set up Blake Shapen's 9-yard TD pass to Hal Presley for a 24-3 Baylor lead. Morton responded with two touchdowns, including his 8-yard run on fourth-and-7 to get Texas Tech within 24-17 after a fumble by Reese. The Red Raiders were up to four interceptions — three from Morton and another from Donovan Smith on one of his two passes when McGuire turned to Shough, who the coach said would be available next week. Reese's third TD was a 1-yard plunge to cap an 11-play, 75-yard drive after the Red Raiders had pulled within seven. Morton finished 11 of 33 for 152 yards and three interceptions. Shapen was much more efficient, going 19 of 30 for 211 yards with a TD and no interceptions. - Baylor/AP College Football

OCT 24 SOUTHLAND SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Kole Wilson, UIW - RS - Fr. - Katy, Texas (Paetow HS),...Wilson had a stellar game for the Cardinals, returning two punts for touchdowns to become the UIW record holder for single-game, season, and career punt returns for scores. Both touchdowns came on 48-yard returns as he totaled 179 yards on seven returns in the Cardinals' non-conference win over Faulkner. His total punt return yardage is the second-highest single game total in Southland history, the highest single-game total in FCS this season, and most in an FCS game since 2018. - Southland Football

10/22/22 - Richard Reese, Sr/2026, Baylor, 5-09, 181 (DS#58 RB) + More +

True freshman Richard Reese ran for 186 yards and two touchdowns, including a late game-clincher as the Baylor Bears held on to beat Kansas 35-23 on Saturday for their first victory in nearly a month. Baylor (4-3, 2-2 Big 12) jumped out to a 14-0 lead less than five minutes into the game matching former Top 25 teams that had both lost their previous two games, and led 28-3 at halftime. The Jayhawks (5-3, 2-3) got within 28-23 when quarterback Jason Bean scrambled 4 yards for a touchdown with 6 1/2 minutes left. That ended a 93-yard drive after Baylor was stopped on fourth-and-1, and included completions of 29 and 47 yards by Bean. On the ensuing Baylor drive, Reese had a 14-yard catch and a 37-yard run before his 2-yard TD run with 2 1/2 minutes left on the last of his 31 carries.

Kansas is still without standout quarterback Jalon Daniels, who missed his second game in a row since injuring his right (throwing) shoulder after being hit late in the first half of a loss to TCU on Oct. 8. Bean was 16 of 27 for 232 yards and a touchdown. Bears quarterback Blake Shapen left in the third quarter of their loss at West Virginia nine days earlier after taking a helmet-to-helmet hit. He was 17-of-26 passing for 164 yards with a touchdown Saturday. But he had three turnovers, two interceptions and a fumble. Shapen had only three interceptions in the first six games, but his two picks included one inside the Jayhawks 5 with only 2 seconds left in the first half. He fumbled in the third quarter when being sacked by defensive end Jereme Robinson, who picked up the ball and returned it 49 yards to set up Devin Neal's 2-yard TD run. The Bears were ranked 17th after a win at Iowa State on Sept. 24, but had since lost 36-25 at home Oklahoma State on Oct. 1, then had an open date before the Thursday night game at West Virginia. Kansas dropped out of the poll from 19th this week after its back-to-back losses to TCU and Oklahoma. - Baylor/AP College Football

10/13/22 - Michael Trigg, rSr/2026, Baylor, 6-4, 246 (DS#11 TE) + More +

The Ole Miss offense just took a major hit to the chest as tight end Michael Trigg is likely going to miss the rest of the season due to a broken collarbone he suffered in last week's game against Vanderbilt. First reported by Chuck Rounsaville of On3 Sports, the injury appeared to happen at the 2:40 mark of the third quarter. Quarterback Jaxson Dart threw the ball down the middle of the field to connect with Trigg for a big gain.

Trigg caught the ball and he was tackled with all of the pressure going towards his right clavicle. It didn't look too serious with the way Trigg got up and ran off the field, but unfortunately, that was not the case. As soon as he ran towards the sideline, his right arm was hanging down from his body, and you could tell that he couldn't move it. On Monday, head coach Lane Kiffin was asked about any updates on Trigg's injury, and he refused to give out the information to the public. "We don't really have any public injury information like always," Kiffin said. - Daily Mississippian

SEPT 26 BIG 12 CO-DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Baylor's Bryson Jackson racked up four solo tackles, including two sacks, and a QB hurry in Baylor's 31-24 win at Iowa State. The linebacker's two sacks were a career-high and resulted in a loss of seven yards as he played mostly on passing downs. The Bears held their opponent to 30 or fewer points for the 18th consecutive game. - Big 12 Football

He also caught one pass out of the backfield for a 17-yard reception. Reese is now tied for the Big 12 lead with five rushing TDs, ranks second in the Big 12 in yards per carry (6.97) and places fifth in rushing yards (237). - Big 12 Football

09/08/22 - Adonis Friloux, rSr/2026, Baylor, 6-2, 325 (DS#999 DT) + More +

Tulane football coach Willie Fritz stopped just short of confirming what sources indicated after Saturday's 42-10 trouncing of UMass—that projected starting nose tackle Adonis Friloux is out for the year with an ACL tear. Friloux, a sophomore from Hahnville who started the final three games of 2021, was hurt in practice last week. His performance in preseason camp prompted new defensive line coach Travian Robertson to say he could dominate in the American Athletic Conference. "We think so (Friloux will miss the season)," Fritz said. "We're going to find out for sure in the next couple of days. Unfortunately that's the only part of the game I don't like. It's a tough, hard-nosed, physical sport, different than all other sports on the planet. Sometimes unfortunately this occurs." - New Orleans Times Picayune

08/29/22 - Ben Sims, rSr/2023, Baylor, 6-5, 250 (DS#17 TE) + More +

Baylor is in need of experienced pass catchers following the departure of wide receivers Tyquan Thornton, R.J. Sneed and Drew Estrada. The trio combined for 1,888 of the Bears' 2,843 receiving yards (66.4 percent) last season, but Ben Sims is a fifth-year tight end who figures to help fill that void. The 6-4, 253-pound veteran hauled in 31 catches for 361 yards and six touchdowns last season. Sims is a preseason All-Big 12 First Team honoree who boasts steady hands and a large frame that's hard to miss in the end zone, which should make him a favorite option for redshirt sophomore quarterback Blake Shapen. - Daily Oklahoman

Sophomore wide receiver Ketron Jackson Jr. said his knee is feeling better, he's more comfortable in the offense and on the field and he's ready to break out this fall, with thanks to position coach Kenny Guiton. "I feel like Coach Guiton was a big part in that because I had the raw talent, but he helped with all my techniques and stuff, small details, building every day," Jackson said. "And I stayed consistent with all that and it's showing a little bit." Junior receiver Jadon Haselwood said Jackson is becoming more vocal, while senior Warren Thompson leads more by his actions. "Ketron's one of those guys who kind of will speak up," Haselwood said. "Matt [Landers] sometimes. With the Warren situation, you know, Warren, he's gonna do what he do. "He kind of leads by example. Great, great guy though. He's just quiet. It's just not his personality. He's gonna go out there and do what he's got to do." - Northwest Arkansas Times
