Bears head to Duke in search of first win

By Ben Everett | Sports Writer

Baylor football faces its first road test of the season as they take on Duke at 11:30 a.m. Saturday in Durham, N.C.

The Bears (0-2) look to avoid falling to the Blue Devils (2-0) and to 0-3 for the first time since 1999.

One of the main reasons for the Bears’ slow start is their lack of experience. Baylor’s 18 first-time starters are the most among Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

Head coach Matt Rhule said the amount of freshmen playing shouldn’t be used as an excuse for early season struggles.
