Director of Sports Journalism Jerry Hill gives his three takeaways from Monday's weekly press conference with head coach Dave Aranda talking about the Bears' 27-24 loss to Arizona State and the road matchup this week between BU (2-2, 0-1) and Oklahoma State (1-2, 0-0). Kickoff is set for 2:30 p.m. Saturday at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater, Okla., with the game broadcast by ESPN2: 

1. 'JOSH IS ALL-IN': Saturday's loss was particularly tough on redshirt senior receiver Josh Cameron, who had six catches for 65 yards but also fumbled twice. "It means everything to Josh, and he puts his heart and soul into it," Aranda said. "I haven't seen Josh Cameron's bedding, but it may be Baylor football bedding. I remember when I was a kid, I had the L.A. Rams' bedding. Josh may be like that. I think he's just all-in. And for him to have a night like that, and he's still leading in the midst of that, that's just so hard to do. You can think of yourself so easily. But to not only think of the unit, but to think of the team and try to get the team going when you're just taking blows and hits and all that, it says a lot about the man's character."
2. NEXT MAN UP: With FIU transfer linebacker Travion Barnes having surgery on Monday to repair the leg injury he suffered Saturday night, the Bears have now lost three of their major portal additions with linebacker Phoenix Jackson (Fresno State) and safety Devin Turner (Northwestern) also out. "It's next man up in all those areas," Aranda said. "I think J-Red (Jacob Redding), you're seeing him step up in the safety spot. Linebacker-wise, we've got Kyland Reed, we've got Kaleb Burns, JJ Evans, we've got guys that are in position that need to take that next step." Barnes and Jackson should both be granted a medical waiver and retain another year of eligibility. "You never know now with the portal and how everything goes," Aranda said, "but I think both of those guys have a lot of football left in them. And I hope it's here at Baylor."
3. STILL THE FOCUS: Through the first four weeks of the season, complementary football has eluded the Bears, with the offense and defense not consistently picking up or feeding off the other side. "I think the higher level . . . is the team," Aranda said. "If one side's down, the other side picks it up. If one side makes a huge play, there's a momentum that you can ride and get another play. We're going to continue to preach that. We try to show great examples of that. There are a few from this year, not nearly enough from us. And we need to be able to have that. When we've played at the level that we need to play, we play that way, so we're going to continue to aim for it."
