The Bears surged down the stretch last year to salvage their season and will need a similar run this year. They have been mostly let down by a defense that can't get off the field. However, they have plenty of firepower and what we believe is the better personnel against a UCF team that is built in a similar mold.

The Baylor defense has been horrible all season, putting it in shootouts with everyone. There's also the looming cloud of Dave Aranda's future hovering over the program. Bad vibes in Waco.
