Articles: Baylor vs. Iowa State 


Quote of the week...

Dave Aranda: “Within the football phase of it, it allows you to play complimentary football, get the run establish, to have a play action pass that looks like it and put people in conflict, and gives you the ability to play all four downs, because you're talking about fourth and one and a fourth and two, as opposed to a third and 13. It just gives you a more balanced, comprehensive approach to things. But seeing the confidence in the guys, the offensive line, and tight ends for that matter, they've continued to improve as well, just blocking. Long ways to go, but like what we've done so far.


Craig Smoak’s Players to Watch 

Iowa State — Running Back Breece Hall 

ISU’s biggest offensive threat, period. Hall has a touchdown in all three games this season and averages around 100 all-purpose yards rushing and receiving, which has been a slow start for the ISU offense before last Saturday. But, as Baylor learned the hard way last year, Hall’s capable of a whole lot more. The x-factor of the Cyclones offense, his performance, will play a decisive role in Saturday’s outcome.

Baylor — STAR Jalen Pitre

Like Iowa State, Baylor has its fair share of playmakers on defense. Pitre and Terrel Bernard are the standards in Waco. We know both will factor in heavily on Saturday, but I think Pitre’s versatility and nose for the football is something that could tilt the result in Baylor’s favor, akin to Mike Rose for the visitors. Pitre’s first career interception, also his first career pick-six, came against Brock Purdy and the Cyclones a year ago.

Looks like we got there.

Also, can we calm down with the "overrated" chants? Its the first quarter and tied...

I'll say this for Bohanon. He has the presence in the pocket of someone who looks like he's started for years.

Reliable violent offense - RVO. I hadn't heard that term before

Probably the best set of route runners that we've had in years. We've always had some talented receivers, but not a lot of great route runners.

Line doing a great job in both run and pass blocking so far as well. Looks well rounded.

Fantastic first quarter. Excellent play calling on early downs getting ISU off balance.
