Story in the DMN...I know it's only a scrimmage, but one would think that 1) the talent difference between their 1st team O and 2nd team D is less than ours, and that 2) given this fact, the Ponies have some work to do given the performance in the red-blue game. What was the score of our spring game?
Behind the running of junior Paul Mosley and sophomore Brandon Whitaker, the Gold team rolled to a 70-26 win in Baylor's annual spring football game Saturday at Floyd Casey Stadium.
The Gold squad, made up mainly of projected starters, had 424 yards total offense and held the Green team to 90 total yards.
Whitaker, who sat out last season as a redshirt while recovering from a knee injury, rushed for a scrimmage-high 115 yards on nine carries and scored four touchdowns. The Gold squad scored eight rushing touchdowns, with Whitaker scoring on runs of 62, 1, 7 and 7 yards. Mosley had 14 carries for 88 yards and two scores.
"That's a good punch," coach Guy Morriss said. "You've got a power guy who hammers it inside [Mosley] and a quick guy who can slash you and cut back, hit the sidelines and go [Whitaker]."
Junior Shawn Bell, who directed a 35-34 overtime win over Texas A&M a year ago before breaking his non-throwing hand the next week at Texas Tech, completed 16 of 20 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.

I don't care if they scrimmaged a high school. 70 points gets some attention.
Either that or their defense is embarrassingly bad. I know they lost DE Khari Long, but it can't be that bad.

In our Red Blue game, I don't believe it was first string vs second string, but I may be wrong. Not really sure how they divided the teams up, but there was quite a lot of substituting going on which allows the coaches to evaluate different combinations. What the BU story in the paper says to me, is that since they were playing first vs second string, they have a hell of a dropoff in talent between the two groups.

Read the Baylor release on their website before panicking. Part of that score includes a red zone scrimmage station and an overtime scrimmage station. The 1st team in "traditional" scrimmage (if you want to call it that) was 42 points.
At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

OK, so it's 42 points. That's still a lot for Baylor, which in the past has been somewhat inept on the offensive side of the ball. Putting up 42 against a row of tackling sleds is pretty good, considering the offense lost its starting QB.
