BAYLOR RED RAIDERS

Head coach: Phil Massey (88-55 in 12 years here; 150-91 overall)

Returning starters: 4 offensive, 6 defensive

Key players: DL Christian Harris (6-3, 260); LB Cooper Lewis (6-3, 215); RB/LB Noah Martin (6-1, 215); CB Moose Vaughn (5-9, 160); QB Lorenzo White (6-3, 190).

Team strengths: With a good nucleus of starters back from a team that was inconsistent last season, expect the tough lessons the Red Raiders learned to pay off with a better finish. They should be better up front defensively, an area that struggled at times in 2017.
