Baylor quarterback DJ Lagway will miss the team's Week 2 game against Prairie View A&M because of a high-ankle sprain, Pete Thamel reported. Nate Bennett is set to make the first start of his college career.
Lagway hurt the ankle during Baylor's 17-16 defeat against Auburn but stayed on the field. He finished that game with 27 completions on 54 attempts, 333 passing yards, two touchdowns and an interception. Earlier in the week, coach Dave Aranda said Lagway's status remained day to day. On3 reported that Lagway had tried to play through the injury but was considered doubtful for the matchup.
Baylor's last-second touchdown against Auburn was followed by a failed two-point conversion, leaving the Bears 0-1. It was not clear whether Lagway's condition influenced the decision to attempt the conversion. Baylor is scheduled to host Louisiana Tech next weekend, then open Big 12 play against Colorado on Sept. 26. No further recovery timetable for Lagway was provided.
