ABOUT STEPHEN F. AUSTIN (1-1): The Lumberjacks, a member of the Southland Conference, have only themselves to blame for last week's loss. They were whistled for nine penalties and 94 yards. On top of that, they turned the ball over four times, including three interceptions by quarterback Brady Attaway.

ABOUT BAYLOR (1-0): The Bears’ dramatic win over TCU on national television made an instant star of quarterback Robert Griffin III. The senior passed for 359 yards and five touchdowns against one of the best defensive squads in college football.
