WACO, Texas (AP) — Tenth-ranked Baylor is coming off a school-record 12 wins and going into this season opener as an overwhelming favorite. Coach Dave Aranda wants these Bears to develop their own identity. He certainly wants a crisper start. Long before the Bears were Big 12 champions and won the Sugar Bowl, they began last season having to grind out a victory at Texas State. Baylor plays Saturday night against Albany, an FCS team from New York that was 2-9 last season. This wasn’t the expected 2022 opener for the Bears, who had planned to host Louisiana Tech before that game was canceled in January.
