Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway is set to return against Colorado after missing the team's Sept. 5 game with an ankle injury. He was cleared by Baylor's medical staff after coach Dave Aranda forecast earlier in the week that Lagway could play. The teams entered the matchup with 2-1 records.
Nate Bennett will return to the backup role after starting two games. He completed 75% of his passes for 567 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions in those starts, while running for 15 yards and two scores. Wide receiver Jadon Porter, defensive back Devin Turner and defensive tackle Hosea Wheeler also are available.
Porter and Turner had been listed as probable, and Wheeler was upgraded from questionable later in the week.
Baylor's unavailable players are safety Jacob Redding, cornerback Jamarion Richardson, defensive lineman Devonte Tezino, offensive lineman Cayden Tone and wide receiver Ashton Jones. Colorado ruled out wide receiver Danny Scudero, cornerback Preston Ashley, linebacker Colby Johnson, defensive lineman Vili Taufatofua, offensive lineman Demetrius Hunter and tight end Charlie Williams. Scudero and Williams have 94 combined yards from scrimmage and one touchdown this season.
Colorado offensive lineman Xavier Payne was listed as a game-time decision. The game is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 26, at 11 a.m. Central at McLane Stadium in Waco and will air on ESPN2, with Lowell Galindo and Kirk Morrison scheduled to call it.
