(October 6, 2008)--Baylor returns to action Saturday, Oct. 11, hosting Iowa State in a Big 12 Conference inter-division game. Kickoff between the Bears and Cyclones is scheduled for 6:05 p.m. at Floyd Casey Stadium. The game will be televised nationally on Fox College Sports. This is Baylor’s fourth consecutive televised game and fifth in six games this season.

The Bears (2-3, 0-1 Big 12) look to stop a two-game skid after dropping a 49-17 decision to top-ranked Oklahoma at home last Saturday. Baylor also hopes to end a 13-game losing streak in Big 12 play that dates back to the Bears’ memorable 36-35 comeback victory over Kansas in 2006.

The Cyclones (2-3, 0-1 Big 12) have lost three straight after opening the season with wins over South Dakota State and Kent State. Iowa State’s last two losses have come in heart-breaking fashion. The Cylones lost 34-31 in overtime to UNLV three weeks ago. After an open date, Iowa State squandered a 20-0 lead in a 35-33 loss to then-No. 16 Kansas last Saturday. Iowa State has lost nine consecutive Big 12 road games, dating back to a 42-14 victory at Texas A&M in 2005.

All Baylor football games are broadcast live on the Baylor/ISP Sports Radio Network; Waco’s 1660 ESPN Radio is the network’s flagship station. Saturday’s game also will be carried on Sirius Radio 161.
