Can the BYU Cougars maintain their undefeated streak? After a nail-biting victory over Baylor in Waco, the 22nd-ranked BYU football program stands at 5-0, but not without challenges. The game saw BYU's offense become conservative in the second half, nearly allowing Baylor to stage a comeback—a recurring issue under Kalani Sitake.

Despite defensive struggles, particularly against Sawyer Robertson & the Baylor Bears' passing game, standout performances from Crew Wakley on defense, Sam Vander Haar on special teams, and Darius Lassiter on offense kept the Cougars ahead as they picked up their first-ever Big 12 Conference road win and first road win over Baylor. With key players injured, the upcoming bye week is crucial for recovery.

Explore how these dynamics shape BYU's season and what lies ahead for the team. Tune in for an engaging analysis of the Cougars' path to success and the hurdles they face.
