Well, we KNOW Baylor is the Big 12 doormat. Technically, SMU is working from a clean slate in C-USA. But I do have my suspicions.

Reggie McNeal is a freak -- he twice ran a 4.30 for pro scouts in the spring, and he's a much-improved passer. The DMN says they have great receivers -- I'm not so sure I agree. But I do think their offensive line will be better than last year, and I think the new faces on defense last year held them back. Their LBs are pretty damn good -- not like the Coryatt days, but good nonetheless. Better than most. And I kind of like their secondary. (Well, I don't like them, but they're pretty decent.) I think their main defensive questions are up front. I'm afraid that overall, they might be vastly improved over last year.LonghornFan68 wrote: .... Sorry, but you are wrong about aTm. They have a good chance of having a losing record this season. Their offense is about the only thing they have and even that is suspect. .... They've lost more players to academic ineligibity and arrests than I can shake a stick at. Some people are calling for them to Big XII champs, I'm gonna be surprised if they sniff a bowl this season....
And while we don't play them this year (meaning I don't care), I'm not as sold on Tech as you are. But I hope even UT (sorry - never been a UT fan) beats the hell out of the The Leach and his crew. If Mack and the boys have a chance to kick some dirt over them by adding a late touchdown after the game is long since out of reach, DO IT.
