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.

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?


Offense sucked
Defense ok

Bomb it first play here. You have to start hitting on big plays. I feel like we don't have one yet this season.

Our young DBs are really good. Lots to be happy about with Houston. Older guys doing better as well.

I'd venture that the more aggressive 3-4 front helps them. Anybody else?

Look at their schedule. He will likely win 4-7 games this season after going 2-10 last season.

I would love to see smith for a series.
I would too but man Russell needs some work.

I'm wondering if "work" is going to fix the problem he has. I have my doubts.


Yeah he seems sedate like he knows something isn't right.


Agreed.

I think Seth is just rusty. He missed half of last year and only played 1st half last week.
He needs the work

Just noticed our sideline is very restrained...no redshirt jumping around no staff getting pumped. Anybody else noticed this or is it just that way when i looked?

I would say that's very good progress if not downright impressive

Just pathetic defense.


Which one? The one that sucked most of the first half that got bailed out on some penalties, or the one stepping it up in the 2nd?

It's dead in here. Team reflecting fans.

A rap song came on and they started jumping around a bit.

It seems the O-line has really struggled today (captain obvious). I'd like to hear someone break down the individual performances after the game at some point.
I hope it's just a case of them needing to jell.

Not sure you want to run that with Williams. Probably a better call with hasty

It seems as if we're just running out the clock. I don't like it. Work the offense.

Seth is force-feeding Lynch and I love it. This is the stuff that will help us late in the season.
