If TCU and Baylor had met a few weeks ago, it likely would've been a battle for the bottom of the Big 12. Before the BYE week, TCU sat at 1-2 in the Big 12 and looked to be underdogs in almost all of their future games. The Frogs have since reeled off two gritty wins vs Utah and Texas Tech looking to make some noise in the Big 12 rankings.

Baylor began Big 12 play 0-3 with losses to Colorado, BYU, and Iowa State; all top 4 teams in the conference. Since their losing streak the Bears have beaten a confusing Oklahoma State team and a Texas Tech team that seemed to be trending in the right direction. This year's Bluebonnet Battle could be shaping up to be a classic rivalry game between two teams looking to keep their momentum. Here's the depth chart for the Baylor Bears.

Baylor Depth Chart Notes

The X-factors for this week's depth chart notes aren't necessarily hidden. Sawyer Robertson, Bryson Washington, and Josh Cameron are the guys to look out for on the offensive side of the ball. The trio has been operating at an extremely high level for the past couple of weeks. Make no mistake though, the Baylor WR core should be monitored closely.

A large part of Baylor not being able to get into the red zone is a lack of consistency at the quarterback position. Against BYU, Iowa State, and Colorado, Sawyer Robertson had a completion percentage of under 58%. Against Texas Tech, he had a completion rate of 65.6%. If the Frogs want to win this game, the TCU secondary is going to have to force incompletions.

On the defensive side of the ball, Matt Jones is the most fearsome defender the Bears have. Totaling 71 tackles through 8 games is impressive enough, but the sixth-year senior has been improving each season. Garmon Randolph is another defender to be wary of, as he's often seen in blitz packages when the defense needs a big stop. The linebacker has accounted for 3.5 sacks this season in limited time, as he's been rotating in and out during defensive drives.
