This Saturday we get a premier match up in the Big 12 Conference as the West Virginia Mountaineers and head coach Dana Holgorsen will welcome in the undefeated Baylor Bears, looking to spoil their perfect season bid.

Part of the reason the Bears have gotten off to yet another great start is that the passing game has been about as dominant as ever. As it clearly evident every week, Baylor has some of the best wide receivers out there.

But, just how good are they? Well, to give it some perspective, Holgorsen, who has been around the game for a long time with some athletic rosters, thinks that this Baylor group may be the best that he’s ever seen in his career.


Last weekend in the comeback win over TCU after being down 21 in the fourth quarter, three Baylor receivers finished with over 100 yards, led by Antwan Goodley who finished with eight catches for 158 yards with two scores. This is a common theme with this team and it’s going to be mighty difficult for Holgorsen and his coaching staff to figure out how to slow this attack down.

Obviously, Holgorsen seems to be aware of that.
