Baylor football suffered a 17-6 loss to rival TCU at McLane Stadium. The team failed to reach the end zone for the first time this season, struggling with an offense that recorded only 54 rushing yards and a 41.5% completion rate from quarterback DJ Lagway, who is reportedly managing an ankle injury.

Head coach Dave Aranda described the performance as “hollow” and “frustrating.” Following the defeat, the team is shifting its focus to an upcoming matchup against Kansas.
