Conner Martin could be the MVP of this game.
I remember that well. It was fun watching those clowns eat crow after all the nonsense they spewed. Hopefully this weekend will yield similar results.Media Bear said:I seem to recall the "analysis" a couple of scribes with the Boulder Daily Camera offered a few years back when BU was considered a sure victory for the Buffs.bear2be2 said:
This is really superficial and hyperbolic "analysis" that is at times just flat out factually inaccurate. It's not really worth getting worked up about.
This will be a tough game for our Bears because Duke is a solid team, but the gap between these teams isn't nearly as large as this clown thinks.
Didn't turn out too well for them either ...
I hope we pound them into oblivion just to see you squirm, ***** and moan.Stranger said:
My question is why Baylor is a six and a half point favorite?
I agree that our defense is lousy. At our house we think betting Duke might be the plan.
Mr Tulip said:
My main concern is the unknown of the Duke offense. Right now, I'd almost rather Baylor face the known of the passing QB.
Flatly, I'm not confident in the defense's ability to adjust schemes on the fly. Duke has been given a week to think up running plays (and the requisite blocking schemes) that play to their 2nd QB's strengths. Baylor will have to identify these schemes and defeat them in-game without losing shape or flattening out.
The want-to and hustle is individually there. I need to see team and unit awareness.

Ashley Hodge said:
we did get a lot better defensively as the year went along.
I think we were 3rd in the conference in defense starting in November games. Something like that. Now granted we had already played the best offenses. But still showed some progress near the end of the season. With suspensions and injuries, we started out of the gate slow this year. But I expect we will see significantly better defense as the year unfolds. That's been Snow's history.

Which brings up one of my long-term concerns with this staff. They always start bad and get better throughout the year. I appreciate the improvement, but if we lose one OOC game we might be done in terms of the playoff. We can't start bad anymore.
The exception is 2015 where they did the opposite. Maybe it was injuries or something, I don't know.

I like the sentiment, but am looking for a bowl game at this point.
We were worried before? Why did they not follow instructions and schedule better?Timbear said:
Playoffs! Is someone worried about Baylor not making the CFB Playoffs? O my goodness. Call 911 for that guy.
who's talking about playing 12 power 5 opponents during the regular seson? NO ONE! Nobody does it. Texas plays 11 most years and I do mean 11 because they ain't playing in no championship games or bowl games against power 5s.Timbear said:
What do some people around here want? 12 P5 opponents? Get over yourselves. Baylor, with 1 P5 non conf opponent, plays 10 P5 opponents as a BIg 12 member. That's it. You better be glad we've got some weaker teams right now or we could be 0-2.
And that's fair. We also have 3 defensive starters coming back this week, and one who came back last week who happened to lead the team in tackles in the game @Durham last year.JasonEvans said:
So, I am one of the hosts of the Duke Basketball Report podcast and the guy who said, "Baylor is awful on defense. Really, really bad on defense."
I wanted to say, first of all, that I am thrilled you folks found our podcast. We do it for Duke fans, obviously, but we get a great kick out of rival/opponent fans who chime in and comment upon it.
Secondly, I am extremely flattered by the "Duke Football Analyst" title that was bestowed upon me but I really do not deserve it. As the "Basketball" part of our name indicates, the podcast is primarily dedicated to our hoops team (they have had some modest success over the years, you may have noticed). This is actually the first year we have tried to cover every football game. Most years we would comment on about half of the football games and we didn't do extensive football previews, but our football program has improved so much under coach Cutcliffe, we really wanted to give it due attention this season.
Still, I will freely admit that -- unlike the basketball previews -- I did not watch a single second of Baylor football to come up with my assessment of the team. I know, I know, that greatly diminishes the value of my analysis (if you can even call it analysis) but neither of their first two games were on TV in the SE U.S. and... well... my interest in (no offense) mediocre college football teams from the southwest is pretty darn limited.
Still, I wanted to provide some perspective for my audience about what kind of team Baylor is, seeing as I am sure many of my listeners probably don't even know Baylor is in the Big 12, so I did the next best thing to watching games... I looked at your boxscores and studied you recent history.
And... well... there is no easy way to say this. The number for you guys are really, really bad.
Last year, you were 113th in D-1 football giving up 457 yards per game. You were 115th in points allowed at 35.9 points per game. When you consider the fact that there are only 130 teams in FBS, that means you guys were pretty much in the bottom 10% of all teams in yards and points allowed. Call me hyperbolic if you want, but I would say that was a "really, really bad" defense.
Now, it is easy to say, "Hey, that was 2017 and we have really turned the corner in 2018," so I looked at your first two games of the season to see if that was the case. As I mentioned on the pod, you played a pair of godawful teams. You played teams that, frankly, any Power 5 conference team should absolutely crush.
Given the talent/facilities/money/prestige advantage you have on teams like UT-SA and Abilene Christian I expected to see scores like what happens when Duke plays their annual game against an overmatched FCS school. Last year, we played North Carolina-Central and the final score was 60-7. UNCC had a total of 8 first downs all game. They gained 64 yards on the ground and all of 94 in the air. They rarely got the ball past half field.
So, when I looked up your first two games and saw that you gave up... gulp... 466 yards and 27 points to Alilene Christian and then followed that up by giving up 20 points and 255 yards to UTSA the very next week... well... what was I supposed to think?
Look, it is entirely possible you will make Duke look bad on Saturday. QB is the most important position on the field and we just lost a 3 year starter who is likely destined for the NFL someday. Without him, you could take every single QB on the active roster, combine all their college stats, and they would have fewer career completed passes than I have fingers on my hands. We may be just godawful on O. It is definitely a possibility.
But, if any one of these guys we try out at QB proves to be even adequate, I think you all are in for a tough game. Duke's D is excellent. We just utterly frustrated one of the better teams in the Big Ten last weekend, and we were playing on their field. Unlike you guys, playing a couple horrible cupcakes, Duke has taken on two teams that each won 10 games a year ago... and we won both games by better than 2 TDs.
I will be prepared to take my lumps if Duke comes up short... but if I was in Vegas right now I would look at that 6.5 point line and make a very hefty bet that it is very, very wrong.
Thanks for your interest in my little pod...

"Baylor is awful on defense. Really, really bad on defense."
"I really like the way this sets up for Duke."
"we are a heck of a lot better than the Baylor Bears"
Someone get that to the proper people. Our defensive players need to hear this.

I see the QB excuse is already being built in in case Duke's offense struggles.
And Northwestern is a solid team, good win for Duke, who I also believe is a very solid team. But let's be honest here. Pats Fitzgerald just called RPO the "purest form of communism." Not exactly a ringing endorsement of his office of prowess.

You are correct, our D has been really bad and inexplicably so considering our slow pace of play on offense. If that doesn't end this week, we might be looking at 3 wins on the year. I'm guessing we get 4-5.

So why are we even discussing the merits of this guy's analysis?

I wouldn't even call it analysis. It's more like super-fan throwing shlt on the wall to see what sticks for a fan base.....Baylor has super-fan podcasters like that.

I will be prepared to take my lumps if Duke comes up short... but if I was in Vegas right now I would look at that 6.5 point line and make a very hefty bet that it is very, very wrong.
Thanks for your interest in my little pod...
Best,
