The Baylol matchup thread

[horn_of_the_morning 978]

Texas opens as 16 point favorites. This is an improved Baylor team from last year. Thought not by much.

 

We will see how Texas can handle being top 10 and coming of such a massive win. Bit of a letdown spot imo.

Westlake vs. Lake Travis

Charlie Brewer still starting over there?

Gotta come out ready to beat these fools. Can’t play flat

[sushihorn 3233]

I didn't see a letdown from beating USC when we played TCU.  One could argue that the 2nd half of the KSU game was a letdown after TCU but I'd think that would have happened early.  Herman seems to be focused on the next game all the time.  His 2017 Longhorns fought tooth and nail for 5 straight games from USC to Okie State.  A letdown against Baylor is not high on my list of worries.

They are averaging 36 points a game, albiet against sub par competition (minus OU, but they put up 33). They havent scored less than 26 points all season

 

they are also giving up 33 points a game on D. 

 

I like Texas something to the tune of 37-17

Alex Barnes from KSU ran for 250 yards and 3 TDs on 22 carries yesterday against Baylor.

I think this is Keontay Ingram's game to dominate.

OP, I'm not liking your thread title. Take nothing and nobody lightly.

And its Rapelor, not Baylol

Maybe they were giving up the run to contain KSU's high flying passing attack.

[JBJ 3654]

I only watched Baylor v Kansas State thus far:

Surprisingly little run game or formation magic for what Rhule was doing at Temple.  I guess it's power-based, but they suck at it and abandon it quickly.   Run and Shoot passing attack.  They like 1v1 deep shots. A few big receivers that handle this well and Brewer doesn't suck.  He's nuts on third down and doesn't turn it over.  OLine is wesk or this offense might be really good.

Defensive can be summed up by aggressive but unsound.  Lots of Cover 1 pressures and they aren't good enough in the secondary to do it.  LBs either blitz or play stuck in sand.  Secondary is abusable.  We should have our way any way we choose.

[Valmy77 13195]

Sounds like an interesting matchup for our defense. We don't pressure well.

[El Squared 1796]

Just win baby

[Kel Varnsen 8457]

Damn the Baylol clan! They're all Longshanks' men

[Lhorn 4904]

Damn thats a huge spread.  Hope coaches get the team focused.  1-0

[Richter 2238]

“Baylol” is Aggie talk.  We don’t need that kind of crap here. 

[Thetexashammer 1062]

Not a football expert like so many of you guys, so I have questions.

Baylor is 4-2. This seems wrong. Didn't they go winless last year?

How many scholarship players to they actually have?

How many rapists will be stepping onto the field and should we return the favor?

Who is the Matt Rhule guy and should we hire him to be our OC?

Why does Baylor continue to exist?

Can we clear the bench for once? Would love to see Ojomo, Coburn, Rising.

[Closetojumping]Will Sam finally throw 3 INT's?[/Closetojumping]

[sushihorn 3233]

Baylor's lines are not very good.  Their OL is particularly bad.  Unless our guys in the trenches just screw the pooch, Baylor should struggle to run, stop the run and protect their QB.

It helps a lot that their non-conf schedule was Abilene Christian, UTSA and Duke.  If that wasn't enough, 2 of their first 3 conference games were KU and KSU.

[tbone_ 14042]

Agreed but their record seems like they are much better than 1-11 last year.

I sincerely hope this comes to fruition. I want to see dead baptists on the field.

They lost to Jerry Falwell U last year, so yeah.

[gmr548 16558]

Barring a rash of turnovers Texas should be able to move the ball effectively with the run game getting better as the game goes on. Should score plenty. Defense will probably get burned on a couple big pass plays but should get a decent amount of stops from getting Baylor into third and long on a regular basis. I honestly doubt Texas covers though, which sucks, because I would love to see some killer instinct out of this team going into the bye. Coaches seem to take the foot off the gas with a lead and that trickles down. So instead I'm just hoping it isn't a dreaded Herman egg laying.

If we come out focused and execute we will win comfortably.  Their run defense is terrible and it's time to let Ingram eat. 

 

 

[UTEX_ME 4758]

Their defense is just as bad as OU's we should be fine. Hopefully the crowd and students show and have the place loud after the OU win. 

[Tired of Lurking 637]

Man, it's gonna be nice not having to play for bowl eligibility in our last two games anymore.

[Hank Kingsley 20834]

I also think it will do wonders for Orlando's defense not to face a guy like Kyler Murray again in the regular season. Lots of mistakes to clean up after last week but the QB will be an easier target moving forward.

Baylulz

[Richter 2238]

Our recent success gives me hope, but I’m pretty far from feeling like any game left is a guaranteed win after a decade of disappointment.  We should win handily.  But will we?  Hope so.  Baylor needed a late field goal to beat KSU.

Yes Brewer is the starter

[TexasMan 10849]

Actually, the line started at 17 and has moved to 16.

New Mexico State talks about 'Baylol'?

Interdasting.

God damnit!

Texas has been playing up to or down to the level of it's competition so far.   I want to see Texas come out and play to their own standard and flat out dominate the rapists.  No safe words at all.

This is the continued improvement I’m hoping for.
