Baker seeking rebound against another ranked foe

Baker University’s football team will try to regroup from last week’s four-point loss to Graceland when it faces No. 23-ranked William Jewell today.

Kickoff will be at 1 p.m. at Greene Stadium.

William Jewell, one of three undefeated teams in the Heart of America Athletic Conference, is coming off a 24-15 victory at Avila. Baker (1-1) bowed to No. 11 Graceland, 21-17, last Saturday.

Baker freshman quarterback Mack Brown is averaging 181.5 passing yards per game with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Defensively, Baker is led by junior linebacker Micah Mason, who is averaging 10.5 tackles per game.

William Jewell pinned Baker, 27-6, last season. The Wildcats haven’t defeated the Cardinals since a 17-0 shutout in 2000.
