The Bears finished 2011 spring practice determined to improve on a record-breaking 2010 season. 
BU's offense ranked among Big 12 leaders in 2010, and should be very productive again in 2011. In his sophomore season, Robert Griffin III finished third in the Big 12 in total offense with more than 4,000 all-purpose yards and broke a school record for career passing yardage. His junior year with the Bears should see him be quite productive. His supporting cast on offense is strong -- receiver Kendall Wright returns for his senior season after setting single-season school records for receptions with 78. BU's offensive line should be strong, too, with  a handful of starters returning. Coach Art Briles believes it could be the best offensive line he's had at Baylor. 
The Bears seek to improve on defense from a tough 2010 campaign. New defensive coordinator Phil Bennett comes to Waco after spending three seasons with the Pittsburgh Panthers, who finished 2010 ranked in the top ten nationally in total defense. Bennett wants BU's defense to play as a complete unit and improve its fundaments in tackling, running, and angles. Two seniors return to anchor the defensive line, while senior Elliot Coffey headlines the linebackers.
