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.

Awesome play by Orion. But does anyone think we'll even make it to midfield?

Upset coming.

KB can't run a team.

Coaching cannot overcome what SR is doing right now. We look B1G level incompetent throwing the ball and SMU is stacking the box daring us to throw. Beyond running the Wildcat or pulling the QB nothing fixes this.

I'm actually going to take a different take on this.

it is about bloody time that a team played Baylor like this defensively. SMU has a very good strategy today for their defense. They are spilling hard and forcing baylor to go where they don't want to go. We have seen this before a few times but SMU is doing a great job today.

Let's see where the team..... and the fans...... go mentally from here.

It was Denzel Mims. Terrible throw but the CB came back to it and Denzel stayed there. Not his issue though.

Considering how SMU is stacking the box against the run, it should be easy for an OC to adjust. Just sayin'....

It's hard to get up for a team that went 1-11 last year. It's is what it is.

Yep. Should be able to go over the top if the QB didn't underthrow them.

I'd love to see the H-back arc release and run a shoot like we saw on the goal line last week.

Its there.

You are correct. How many drops and poorly thrown balls today...that's your answer.

If a Defense is getting penetration you can't keep doing the same things. This is not on Seth, it's on the coaches. It makes no sense to save Seth for the Big 12 if we lose to SMU and get knocked out of the Top 25. Seth is very good at throwing on the run so move him around. This is ridiculous.
