The Central Arkansas Bears have not played a lick of defense through two games, and this is their toughest opponent they’ve faced yet. This has the potential to get dark for Central Arkansas. The only question is how motivated the Baylor Bears will be to keep the foot on the gas for 40 minutes, as this is a big boy number. Still, it’s Baylor or pass for me. Central Arkansas is outclassed across the board here.
