The Baylor Bears (1-0) will take on the SMU Mustangs (1-0) on Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p.m. CT in a game at McLane Stadium in Waco which will be televised nationally on FS1. The Bears defeated the Mustangs last fall with a final score of 56-21. 

Baylor-SMU Series History

  • Baylor and SMU meet for the 82nd-time Saturday. The Bears lead the all-time series, 38-36-7 and 19-18-3 in Waco.
  • Last year, Baylor produced a 56-21 victory over the Mustangs in Dallas in the season-opener. BU held SMU scoreless in the second half.
  • The last time in Waco, the two teams met to open the 2014 season as well with BU shutting out SMU, 45-0, in the inaugural game at McLane Stadium.
  • The Bears have won each of the last 12 meetings dating back to 1986.
  • The previous four series meetings have all been the season opener for both teams (BU also won, 28-23, in 2005 & 59-24 in 2012).
  • The Bears and Mustangs first met on Oct. 7, 1916, with Baylor dominating in a 62-0 rout in Dallas.
  • Starting with the first meeting in 1916, the teams met each season (with the exception of World War II) through 1986, a span of 70 years. NCAA sanctions forced the cancellation of SMU’s 1987 season and University officials cancelled the Mustangs’ 1988 campaign. The teams then picked up their Southwest Conference rivalry in 1989, playing yearly until Baylor joined the Big 12 to start the 1996 season.
  • Since moving into the Big 12 Conference in 1996, Baylor is 9-0 in non-conference games against former Southwestern Conference (non-Big 12) rivals -- 5-0 vs. SMU and 4-0 vs. Rice.
  • Defensive coordinator Phil Bennett will be facing his former team during Saturday’s game. Bennett was the head coach at SMU from 2002-07.

We're flat thanks to an excess of distractions and SMU is going balls to the wall to win. Doesn't work well in our favor.

Also, I was a Morris fan after the game last year. Definitely find myself in that boat again, even more so considering the circumstances. Can definitely see us continuing to put up numbers under him. He's doing well in his audition so far, that's for sure.

And Platt drops a first down. Not impressed with Platt at all through two games.

This is pretty amazing. KB is blowing his shot at a big OC job. It's looking more and more like daddy was the wizard and boy was the boy.

Can we please roll Seth out and give him a chance to make a play and give our receivers some time to get open. Even a pass to a RB would be nice

Not sure if Russell is sick, depressed, or just rusty, but I would like to see what does Zack Smith can do

Doubt we could win the conference with Zach. We need to let Seth adjust.

Was Russell better than Stidham or was it because he was a senior?

There are some AP/ESPN level overreactions on this thread...calm down guys. Thrashing NWSt was not that great and letting SMU hang around for a half is not that bad.


I could see letting them hang around if they were scoring, but our offense looks worse than the defense. Big changes need to happen at halftime.

As much as many will hate to admit it, having Stidham would sure be nice right now. Zach is great but he is gonna need time that we may not have this season.
F Stidham

Sorry you feel that way. This attitude is not conducive to being a top program...it happened and will continue to happen from time to time. I'd take the kid back in a second if it helps us win games. He wasn't dismissed, he made a business decision to leave...it is what it is.

Russell was better and got the nod this year because he was a senior. Doubt he's better this year.

the conference isn't being won or lost by putting smith in for a series, the point is to give this team a jolt today.

He is a QB that thought life was too hard so he bailed like a little girl.

You don't give your team a jolt by messing with QB 1's head.

So when can Morris start? Monday? Great.

Based on what people are saying here, what Monty is doing to tOSU is more impressive.
It is early. Tulsa is still running on emotion right now.


Can we get some?
