Baylor just finished one of the biggest turnaround jobs in college football history, but a new era is upon them. Former LSU defensive coordinator Dave Aranda takes over the program and is ready to rebuild it in his image.
The path is tougher this season with a harder schedule and younger roster. Still, an electric coaching staff featuring several key LSU support staff from the national championship will help make the transition easier. Quarterback Charlie Brewer, running back John Lovett and cornerback Raleigh Texada rank among the critical seniors who will make or break this season.
