Baylor @ OSU - 6pm CDT ESPN2

[El Diablo 4232]

#21 @ #19, both teams with 4-0 records. The teams seem somewhat similar with pretty good defenses and inconsistent but improving offenses. Cowboys are favored by 4 for betting purposes and the O/U is ~50.

Baylor will need to eliminate the parade of penalties they displayed vs ISU last week (9 for 100 yds) and finish drives with TD's if they hope to win at Boone Pickens stadium where the 'Pokes fans provide a raucous and intimidating atmosphere.

The Utah State transfer RB Jaylen Warren may be a game changer for OSU with their limited depth at that position, he's shown promise when called on this year.  The Cowboys have yet to field a receiving corps at full strength but experience and increased playing time for those who have seen the field should help in that area. 

My homer prediction - Baylor shows some new offensive wrinkles early, gets a double digit lead and holds on for the road win as a last second OSU FG to tie goes astray. 31-28 BU.

They have deviated from my script.

7-0 OSU after 1.

Lulz at the Stillwater commercial...just now. 

[Surly Bevo 25662]

Listen to how quiet that stadium is.  If we were there as a ranked matchup it would be rocking.  Baylor....OSU is all meh

[PorscheGuy 127]

Defense playing very good. Need offense to show up now.

I feel like Baylor and K State are complete frauds and the jury's out on Okie St.

[Surly Bevo 25662]

Baylor beat ISU who everybody thought a lot of.  Was that thinking right?  Guess we will find out in next 3-4 weeks.

[UTEX_ME 4257]

Is anyone an offensive threat this season after OU? Maybe K-State? Seems like a meh offensive league this year. 

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Fuck Baylor

Good lord the "women" poke fans paddling on the sidelines were made when meat was cheap. They might outweigh oSu's line.

This game is why the Big 12 will die.  Two undefeated teams.  Not close to a sellout.

Yup. And Baylor looks like a paper tiger. Soft as hell and not especially talented.

And the crowd that is there doesn't seem into it much either. Can't believe I skipped a trip to Luby's for this snoozefest.

Quilterpalooza will beat ratings over this game.

No. The Atlantic noted the Big 12’s defense are way better than the offenses, except maybe us. It’s an odd year for the Big 12

Then we should be in the Big 12 championship game if Bijan can keep rolling and Casey get better. 

[GhostOfTomJoad 9492]

Sanders with his 3rd pick of the night. That's on his WR.

[Vito Andolini 9432]

Looking at the game tracker.. did OSU really just give up a 50+ yard TD on 4th down? 

Edited October 3, 2021 by Vito Andolini

[El Diablo 4232]

Yes. It was 4th and 2. Best play call of the night for Baylor. 

[Left Coast 879]

Am I the only one enjoying RG3’s commentary?  Haven’t heard him call a game, and he’s been pretty evenhanded considering his obvious allegiance.

[GhostOfTomJoad 9492]

Baylor bailed out on the delay of game penalty, nullifying the INT.

[El Diablo 4232]

Baylor penalties continue to hamper their efforts. Ballgame.

[gmr548 16681]

OSU gets a bye next week and will be coming to Austin undefeated. Hell of a draw post-OU.

[Jameslaw121 4486]

Fuck Baylor

Sorry Bears…

 

I didn’t get to watch the game, was at ACL and didn’t get a chance to head over to the beer tent…wasn’t sure the game was on there.  But to the two Baylor guys who were talking shit and being all smug about this game in line on Friday, I hope it was on the TV in the beer tent and you watched the whole thing.  
 

I know all fan bases have dbag contingents, and my sample size is small…but having tasted some success I sure seem to meet a lot of arrogant, shit talking Baylor fans who seem to have forgotten all about Queso, Patrick Dennehy and Art Briles. 
 

Texas is going to smash us.  Y’all have an offense with a pulse that knows that you can score after halftime.  But I enjoyed beating Baylor today even if it was just occasional game cast updates when I had a signal at Zilker.
