With 'Power Five' non-conference opponent on deck, Matt Rhule trying to keep winless Baylor together

WACO -- Baylor coach Matt Rhule understood some of the obstacles he was going to face as soon he became the Bears' new football coach.

Rhule was aware of the lack of depth and scholarship players, two things he'd have to immediately overcome as the school made the next step from recovering from a sexual assault scandal.

But there might have been something else he didn't account for -- the amount of pressure the players placed on themselves to fix a struggling program.

That's why Rhule remains positive despite the fact the Bears are 0-2 to start the season and are an underdog this weekend at Duke (2-0).
