i think we are outmanned by A&M - but i think Baylor is better then TCU and better coached top to bottom - so i think our best shot at a W is at home vs TCU. Dont get me wrong - i think TCU is plenty good so our odds aint great.

One other, when we did get some pressures on the BU QB, he was very inaccurate.

Line of course.

Pass protection

Young players making the most of limited playing time.
Not sure the pass protection was a good as some may think. I got the distinct impression from the comments of both JJ and GG after the game that there were a number of break downs. GG commented that he was ordered to just not get sacked and frequently unloaded early or without accuracy to avoid a sack. Also, Line got stuffed early on with an number of missed assignments. Not a criticsim, just saying that the O line may have had more of an negative impact than is realized.

Still no sacks, but I agree that some passes may have been rushed and that run blocking was suspect, especially at first.
Go Ponies!!
Beat whoever it is we are playing!!
