Keys to beating Baylor

Post by Pony4Life »

1. Stop the run.
2. Soften Baylor defense with intermediate passes over the middle.
3. 25-30 carries for Zach Line.
4. Tie up the middle of the field, forcing Florence to throw to the sidelines.

Right you are, soccermom. I think we can score on them, but they have some stud athletes on offense who got overshadowed last year by Griffin, Wright, etc. Even with our defense, this game could be in the 40s on both sides.

Zach Line: 2 rushing touchdowns
Garrett Gilbert: 3 passing touchdowns
Darius Johnson: 1 receiving touchdown
Keenan Holman: 2 receiving touchdowns
Jeremy Johnson: 1 receiving touchdown
Chase Hover: 1 field goal

SMU 45
Baylor 40

It's all attitude and focus at this point. If we come in with a chip on our shoulders and dig in, we have a good chance.

If we have an inferiority complex (even subconsciously) by anyone in the starting lineup, we lose and lose big. Must be resilient if one or two plays don't go our way (a dropped pass, give up a big play, etc - learn from Tulsa experience).

Still concerned about our secondary. We shall see.

Is it Sunday yet?!?

My two cents, it's about not getting down early (ATM) and getting up big early (TCU). I think we might know the outcome early in the first quarter.

You should be a coach. With that kind of stately, you can't lose! :D

Turnovers. I think if we win the turnover battle, we win the game, no doubt.
