After the loss of 2015 Biletnikoff Award winner Corey Coleman to the NFL, junior KDà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € Cannon was expected to become the offense's No. 1 target, but an injury heading into fall camp delayed the speedster's progression. Ten games into the season, Cannon has become the top WR target despite missing all of the Iowa State game with a groin injury.

Baylor leads the all-time series 37-36-1, but TTUà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € holds a 15-5 edge against Baylor in the Big 12 era. However, the Bears have taken each of the last five contests. The Bearsà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € lead the series 5-2 when the series is held at a neutral site, after TTUà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € won 45-38 at the Cotton Bowl in 2010.

RUSSELLà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € SIDELINED FORà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € SEASONà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € WITHà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € INJURY AGAIN

The senior had also racked up 506 rushing yards on 94 carries with eight scores. As a starter at Baylor, Russell owned a 14-3 record, throwing 54 TD passes and only 14 interceptions in those games. For his career, the veteran signal caller ranks second in school history in passing efficiency (159.36). He is also third in the BU record books with 60 career TD passes and seventh in passing yards (5,461).

THE BAYLOR SYSTEM IS AMERICA'S TOP OFFENSE
Baylor's unique, record-breaking system has set the standard for offense in contemporary college football. For three-straight seasons, Baylor has led the nation in both Total Offense (616.2 ypg in 2015, 581.5 ypg 2014, 618.8 ypg 2013) and Scoring (48.1 ppg in 2015, 48.2 ppg 2014, 52.4 ppg 2013), just the second program in NCAA history to do soà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € (first since BYU 1979-81).

THE BAYLOR OFFENSE: à ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € A unique, up-tempo spread attack with origins in Bill Yeoman's `Houston Veer' (perhaps most identifiable by wide splits of receivers and a power running game); it's a balanced offense, not to be confused with more common pass-heavy spread attacks. The Baylor offense is also in use under former Art Briles assistants at Syracuse (head coach Dino Babers), Texasà ¢Ã¢' ¬Ã‹ € (offensive coordinator Sterlin Gilbert) and Tulsa (head coach Philip Montgomery).
