@ Baylor is a must win

Post by ponyfan777 »

It is very important for the Mustangs to start off strong this season and I'm thinking Coach Jones will have us ready to play and come out of Waco with a win. That win would highly boost our confidence, that's why I am calling it a must win.

Your thoughts.

Totally agree that winning will give us great confidence for the rest of the schedule.

Not a must win. But it'd be a fantastic springboard. I'd call it a great opportunity.

Must win game. It is time to start winning games against teams from BCS conferences as we've only beaten 2 or 3 since Ford Stadium opened. It's great that we can beat SFA, SHSU, Rice & Tulane, but at some point the program has to take a step forward if we are going to have the success that TCU & Boise State have had and hopefully now that the team is all "June's players" we'll see this happen.

Baylor is the most winnable of the three BCS OOC games, we lose this one and we're going to lose the other two and have to dig out of a 1-3 hole. It's time our futility in road openers came to an end.

Not a Must Win-its just a win that we need to begin to raise the profile of the program. I buy that it is the Biggest Game of the Year-but not a Must Win.

I agree. It would be a very nice win, but not a make or break game.

It is a statement game that could really set the tone that we are legit.

must win...along with the TCU and A&M games...if we want to build a resume for invitation to join the Big XII (assuming they want to get back to twelve teams again). Even more important is for a bunch of SMU faithful to show up wearing red to all of those games

A big game changer would be a win on National TV at Baylor...the inexperienced DL of Baylor should make it easier for Gilberts debut, as well as solidify the SMU OL line out of the chute.

Baylor's talent is better then TCU - and we have TCU at home, so i would say TCU is our best shot, followed by Baylor. A$M will be better then last year, but we still give that one up. Baylor is a coin flip at best.
