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 are missing a #1 WR/IR. Lots of good 3rd and 4th options but no Coleman.
KD is definitely a #1 IR. He needs to be moved there. But on the outside we have a ton of potential but no star. I think Lynch can be that, but we have to wait and see.

Granted I've only been watching since the third quarter but the offense looks flat which I'm sure has already been stated.

Platt should catch some of these but these balls are not accurate. Once again that one was too far inside. He should catch some but Russell has been off all day.

At least he had a shot at that one.

I've been thinking this all game. KD is not a #1 IMO

Your KB hate is noted. Play calling has sucked most of the day. We are also setting a BU record for drops and bad throws which speaks to poor preparation. At the end of the day this is a terribly ugly game for EVERYBODY and we are lucky it's vs SMU at home.

Hard to believe a freshman QB has 20 more yards passing than our former Heisman contender

So with some good defense and aggressive offense, we can still put up 47. I really hope we don't milk the clock. Seth and this offense need a ton of work.

I dont think our playcalling has been that different than what we have called the last few years. The difference is execution.

No it wasn't. Way under thrown again. That probably gets picked off 5 out of 10

Since I missed the first half and I'd rather not go back through the thread, can someone sum it up in 10 words or less?

At this point, it is safe to say....

our special teams are freaking incredible thus far.

The Callahan miss aside, this is unbelievable.
