Baylor Recruiting
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2006 9:42 pmWho here thinks BU will keep that Top20 class if they go 4-8 this season (while implementing the spread in their first year)?
5. Baylor
Predicted record: 4-8 Conf. record: 2-6
Best Player: P Daniel Sepulveda, Sr.
Offense - Playing around with the parts available, head coach Guy Morriss and his staff will turn to the Texas Tech-like passing attack. While it won't be a pure throw, throw and throw some more offense, but Bears will try to work with their good receiving corps and veteran quarterback Shawn Bell to get the offense moving. The line isn't bad, but it has to prove it can consistently pass block. Paul Mosley and Brandon Whitaker are serviceable veteran backs.
Defense - The Bear defense shouldn't be all that bad with a strong secondary and enough options among the front six to find the right pieces as time goes on. This isn't going to be the type of D that stops anyone cold, but it'll be strong against the pass and there's size up front to hold up better against the run. There need to be more playmakers up front, and defensive coordinator Bill Bradley is hoping for the new starters at linebacker to add more athleticism while the experience on the line should account for something.
This season will be a success if … BU wins six games. It's a far taller task than it might seem with the only sure wins to come against Northwestern State and Army.
