I love the smack talk but there is simply no way we beat Baylor.
They have much better talent, much better coaching and we simply don't show up for big games. (I know we beat TCU a few years ago). Our coaches don't get our kids up for games - way too NFL cool for that.
Hope we can keep it within 21 points. We are a tune up game for BU.
Geez let's not get carried away. This is Baylor a mid level BCS program with mid-level talent who we get at home. They lost some key NFL talent. They likely be starting a career backup QB that really has no resume and has thrown 14 career passes in mop up duty. I was pretty confident that Florence was going to be a good QB-not so sure about Petty. Upsets on the road happen all the time. I certainly don't expect to win but we have a shot. Home field advantage is a big deal in College Football much more than people realize. We're pretty good at home

good point. florence at least had significant PT under his belt before the game.
Wait...so...we're going to replace a home game against a traditional, regional rivalry that's (supposed) to be of a similar talent level, oh- and who travels very well pumping up our attendance numbers and infusing a certain amount of revenue into the program through concessions and tailgating with...an away game against a D1-AA school? An away game? What? Is this the twilight zone?
