Baylor University's football team has secured bowl eligibility after a decisive 49-35 victory over West Virginia, marking their first-ever win in Morgantown. The Bears improved their season record to 6-4, rebounding from a challenging 2-4 start with four consecutive Big 12 wins. Head Coach Dave Aranda, whose position was under scrutiny—with a reported buyout of $16 to $17 million—following a 3-9 season last year and early struggles this season, has been confirmed to return for the 2025 season. The team's offensive resurgence has been significant, averaging 45.7 points per game over the last four matches under Offensive Coordinator Jake Spavital.
