If you're headed to LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday, bring a poncho. No. 10 BYU hosts Baylor, and wet, rainy and cold conditions are expected, with light rain at the start and heavier rain around halftime. Friday's nationwide FAA ground stop also pushed the game back a few hours, since Baylor hadn't left Waco. BYU announced the new start on social media, so check there for the time.
Wet footballs are a worry. LJ Martin was “not even close” to 100% against Utah, offensive coordinator Aaron Roderick said, and BYU has struggled to run the ball. Bear Bachmeier threw four interceptions in that loss. At rainy TCU on Oct. 3, he completed 11 of 24 passes for 62 yards, then ran for 73 yards and two touchdowns in a 17-10 win.
- Preston Rex: expected to play
