MORGANTOWN Dion Sims Jersey , W.Va. (AP) — No. 13 West Virginia is well aware that Baylor quarterback Charlie Brewer is a pain to contain.Brewer almost pulled off a miracle comeback as a freshman against the Mountaineers (5-1, 3-1 Big 12), who are hoping for anything but a repeat when they host the Bears (4-3, 2-2) on Thursday night.Last year Brewer replaced Zach Smith at the start of the fourth quarter against West Virginia with Baylor down 38-13. He rushed for 48 yards and threw two touchdown passes. But with 17 seconds left, Brewer was sacked on a two-point conversion attempt and the Mountaineers escaped with a 38-36 win .“Brewer creates so many different things for them,” said West Virginia defensive coordinator Tony Gibson. “If you’re covering guys downfield Tarik Cohen Color Rush Jersey , he’s going to take off on you. He will keep plays alive, and we have to be careful that we’re not coming off guys too early, because he can still throw it. He’s dangerous.”Brewer also came up a bit short two weeks ago when he drove Baylor to the Texas 17 with the final seconds ticking down. He rushed his final three passes under intense pressure and the sixth-ranked Longhorns held on to win 23-17.But he’s been on the winning end of last-minute drives, too, taking the Bears the length of the field before getting a 29-yard field goal with eight seconds left to beat Kansas State 37-34 on Oct. 6.West Virginia is still smarting from its failure to corral Iowa State quarterback Brock Purdy and running back David Montgomery two weeks ago. Gibson said he counted 31 missed tackles in the 30-14 loss .Iowa State ran the ball 47 times and averaged 5.2 yards per attempt to keep West Virginia’s potent offense on the sidelines. Baylor coach Matt Rhule isn’t sure if the Bears can match that.“In my old life, I would have lined up and tried to run the ball every play https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/James-Daniels-Jersey ,” he said. “That’s just not really who we are. We’re a little more spread and tempo. I owe it to our players to let them go play the way we play best. But it’d be great if we could keep them off the field.”Here’s some other things to know when the Mountaineers and Bears meet:SECOND-HALF BLUESWest Virginia’s offense has been terrible after halftime in three of its four Big 12 contests, getting shut out at Iowa State and Texas Tech and failing to score over the final 22 minutes against Kansas State.CHARLIE AND THE QB FACTORYBrewer attended the same high school in Austin, Texas, as 2017 Heisman Trophy winner Baker Mayfield of Oklahoma. Brewer comes from a family of quarterbacks. His grandfather, father and uncle played at Texas, and older brother Michael Brewer played at Texas Tech and Virginia Tech.IN LAW ‘EERSBaylor running backs coach Jeff Nixon was a running back at West Virginia in 1993 and 1994 before transferring to Penn State Aaron Lynch Jersey , where Rhule also played linebacker. Rhule said he grew up a fan of the Backyard Brawl between West Virginia and Pittsburgh.The connection to West Virginia didn’t end there.“Then, I married my lovely wife Julie whose parents are both Mountaineers,” Rhule said.LACK OF TURNOVERSBaylor’s defense has forced just six turnovers all season and Rhule believes getting some against West Virginia could make a difference.“This is a dynamic offense,” he said. “We have to try to create some negative plays. I think our defense is definitely improving, but we have got to create some turnovers and get to the quarterback if we want to come out with a win.”PITTS STATUSWest Virginia cornerback Derek Pitts returned a blocked field goal for a TD at Iowa State but injured a knee later in the game. Coach Dana Holgorsen had no timetable for his return. Tony Romo’s job has won out over his hobby, but only because he didn’t win the ability to pursue his hobby on a workday.Via Andrew Marchand of the Kevin White Color Rush Jersey , the lead NFL analyst at CBS finished four strokes over par after two rounds at the Safeway Open in Napa, California. Romo had a six-over round on Friday after opening with a two-under 70. The cut was two under par.Romo will take a private jet from California to Chicago to prepare for and to work Sunday’s Vikings-Bears game. If he’d made the cut, CBS would have given him the day off, with Boomer Esiason replacing Romo.CBS decided to let Romo skip a weekend of work at a time when Romo is in the final year of his contract. So it was either a courtesy to Romo, or an opportunity to test out the network’s Plan B, if Romo leaves.Romo’s passion for golf likely won’t dissipate https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Riley-Ridley-Jersey , especially after shooting a 70 on Thursday. Some think that if he could qualify for the PGA Tour, he’d ditch football in a heartbeat. Some wonder whether he’ll eventually walk away from broadcasting to focus exclusively on golf.
