• Season stats: 1281 yards, 63.1%, 19 TD, 5 INT
• Last game vs Texas Tech: 15/23 286 yards, 4 TD, 1 INT

The leader of college football’s most explosive offense, Seth Russell continues to dominate. The Baylor Bears are scoring 63.8 points per game — 13 points more any other team in the nation — and it starts with Seth Russell.

It’s hard to imagine stopping Baylor’s offense, as only five of their 36 touchdown drives lasted more than three minutes. In an offense that has the potential to score on virtually any run or pass play, Seth Russell will continue shred up opposing defenses.

It must be nice to be a receiver in this vertical offense, as four receivers are averaging over 19 yards a catch. Corey Coleman, his top target, has had at least 100 receiving yards in all four games this season, accounting for 11 of Russell’s 19 touchdowns.

Baylor will take on Kansas this upcoming week, who ranked 90th in passing defense, giving up over 280 yards through the air a game.
