Baylor (2-0) is set to begin Big 12 for the 2021 football season on Saturday at 2:30 p.m. CT against Kansas (1-1).


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “I think simplicity, if I had to choose one. I think simple is sophisticated. I think sometimes things get complex because the level of understanding isn't there, and things aren't eliminated that are wasteful. There's not that clear vision of this is who we are, this is what we do, this is what we need.


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Kansas — Quarterback Jason Bean 

The transfer from UNT is a running threat, as he showed last week against Coastal Carolina with over 100 yards and 2 TD (43, 36 yds). On the flip side, Coastal Carolina also sacked Bean five times. The Bears can get to him, but they can't let him get loose, or it will spell trouble. Think Brady McBride and Texas State, but a worse outcome. Bean can be a little careless with the football, so turnover opportunities will likely be there for the taking. Passing-wise, accuracy is also an issue, and one of his highlight throws last week should have been an interception. But, the Mansfield native brings some electricity to this offense it desperately needs. 

Baylor — Running Back Abram Smith 

Smith has started the year off with a bang. I anticipate Trestan Ebner will continue lighting up the stat sheet, but Smith crossing the 100-yard mark for a third straight game would mean great things for Jeff Grimes' offense. I envision Smith slashing through the KU defense like a hot knife through butter.

Really didn't want to see the punt team.

Punting team has so little work over the last couple weeks that they forgot how to line up.

We were WRU for a number of years, but great TEs and effectively use long them can be a game changer. The mismatches that can be exploited at the college level will be fun to see. I'd love to see some of the top TE recruits pick BU because they know they'll get used.

Well maybe it is good that we see them occasionally. So they will be more prepared in bigger games.

Nah it's good to get some experience. Gonna need good special teams in the coming weeks.

Back to Back to Back illegal formation penalties on a punt.

Coaches should be horse whipped for the incredible lack of discipline.

Morgan didn't touch him. Receiver tripped over his own feet.

Bad call. Wish those could be reviewed.
Johnny Bear

What a BS PI call!!
whitetrash

Maybe if the receiver had caught the ball and taken a step, they would have ruled it incomplete.

Possible makeup call for not calling contact out of bounds on Morgan, but KU should just be lucky for getting the phantom PI.

How much does Raising Canes pay to have its name on the top of coaches headsets? LOL

That no call on the late hit out of bounds was a make up call for that horrendous PI.

Baylor going to screw around and let them score, and then at half this is going to look a lot closer than it should be.

It's been a weird game. Baylor has looked better in almost all aspects, yet only two scores. Should be 21 or 24 at this point.

Really bad play by the DB's on the entire drive.

Wow dominated these fools and it's 14-7. Sucks

D looked bad on that drive. Two 3rd & longs given up during the drive.

Very poor second quarter by every one. Players and coaches.
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Ok, now some pressure and a limited clock.

This series will tell me a lot about Bohanon and the offense.

That phantom PI was brutal on that drive.
Jack Bauer

76 yard drive

Too many missed tackles on their QB.
Quinton

No pressure up front on d making that long drive possible. Played well and only up 7 so far isn't good. Need a score somehow here

Plus they get the ball to start the second half

The word "vintage" comes to mind, as it does way more times than I'd like. Especially giving up a score just before halftime when we kick off the second half.

Losing the turnover battle and probably the penalty battle. Winning everything else, but those two stats are keeping KU in the game.

Now the refs decide to choke on their flags?
