1. Baylor still has a big-play offense

One of the biggest plays of the game was a 74-yard rushing touchdown from starting running back John Lovett. When you look at the stat sheet for Baylor, you wonder why they were not able to win this game. That’s a credit to the Kansas State defense.

The other big play that the Baylor offense had was a 70-yard catch for a touchdown by sophomore wide receiver Denzel Mims. It was another huge week for Mims with well over 125 receiving yards and one touchdown.

More: Is the Baylor offense doomed without Chris Platt?

Losing wide receiver Chris Platt for the season seemed to hurt the versatility of the offense a bit. But it does not look like it’s anything that the offense cannot recover from as time moves along this season.

There’s a lot of new names along this Baylor offense. Even projected starters at running back, JaMychal Hasty and Terence Williams, have not played a big role this year. Sophomore quarterback Zach Smith’s improved production is a reason for that.
