red-hot BYU team after a tough loss in Colorado.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Opportunity Knocks. This past weekend, the Bears suffered a heartbreaking OT loss to Colorado.

This weekend, an opponent that Baylor took into double OT last season visits Waco as the #22 BYU Cougars are set for an 11 a.m. showdown at McLane.

2021 was the last time a ranked BYU squad came to Waco and that resulted in a thrilling 38-24 Baylor victory.

🔼 Movin’ On Up. A month into the 2024 season, the Baylor volleyball squad sits at 8-3 with a schedule that includes three top-20 opponents.

With that resume, the Bears moved up a spot in this week’s national AVCA poll and enter Big 12 ranked #19 in the country.

Next up? A Wednesday night home showdown with Arizona.

A partnership unlike any other.

Answer: Dillon Doyle.

A linebacker by trade, Doyle came in on offense to catch and rush for a touchdown, while also recording a sack, becoming the first player in program history to accomplish that feat.
