They also moved up to No. 5 in the polls and have a huge game the ninth-ranked TCU Horned Frogs Saturday. The Horned Frogs are fresh off of a victory over the then fourth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners.

However, the Bears were dealt a big blow on Sunday when it was reported that defensive end Jamal Palmer suffered a torn ACL in the win over Texas and would be out for the season.

"Fifth-ranked Baylor has lost starting defensive end Jamal Palmer, perhaps best known as “the Baylor defensive end that isn’t Shawn Oakman,” for the season to a torn ACL suffered during the Bears’ 28-7 win at Texas, the school announced on Sunday.A junior, Palmer had started all five games this season after appearing in 21 of 26 possible games as a backup during his first two seasons. He served as an important cog on a defensive front that ranks fourth nationally in yards per play allowed (3.91)."

K.J. Smith will likely serve as Jamal Palmer’s replacement.
