Ten Things: Baylor vs. ACU

September 1, 2018

Football is back at Baylor and McLane Stadium saw the second year of Matt Rhule begin. SicEm365 members also get the second year of my segment for Ten Things seen during the game. Without further ado, here are the ten things I noticed during the game against ACU.

  1.  Prayers up to Josh Malin‍ 
  2. Baylor did what Baylor was expected to do
  3. Baylor made mistakes in the first half with penalties
  4. The offensive line did what they should do against an outmanned opponent
  5.  Texas lost
  6.  Safety play must improve
  7. Lovett and Hasty went over 100 yards each on 22 total carruea
  8. McClendon may be the starter going forward
  9. Defensive line is legit
  10. Don't it feel good to win

Check out the Facebook Live video that accompanies the list for more from SicEm365.com

D gave up 466 yards against a team we were supposed to beat by 40.

Brewer was somewhere today. But he's probably lost his starting position.

Yeah at least we didn't have to wait on Kansas to win, but that D has a lot to work on.

I don't agree that the D line is legit at all. Not sure where the evidence is to support that.

Respectfully disagree with #9 on your list. We gave up 220 yards rushing (8.1 yards/ carry) to an FCS team.

"D line is legit"?

Did you watch the same game I was watching? We got little pressure on their QB and they ran for 220 yards. The first two TDs they had were on big plays, but in the second half our D looked gassed. That's just not acceptable.

What is an "outmammed opponent"? Does that mean our boobs were bigger?

Man boobs.

When I read it, I thought most ACU defenders were orphans.

We gave up more points and yards in 1st half

Each long play was due to a player not filling the gap on assignment. Vaughns whiffed on one and Miller another. DL gave them the time for plays to be made. Sorry you watched a different game.

It seemed to me that most, if not all, of their scores were based upon our defense making big mistakes--the kind that a D1 team should not make--at least not that often in one game.

If Snow, et all cannot get this cleaned up soon, it may be a long season. I bet the coaching staffs for the rest of our schedule will be watching that film with relish.

Like others, i strongly disagree with proposition #9. Lynch seems like he could be big 12 caliber, but i am waiting for the others to show up. Lewis and Lockhart have potential...

From my position it looked like the DL was getting pretty good penetration consistently, though the OL was getting away with considerable holding. Seemed more like the LBs and safeties weren't able to finish. This is somewhat understandable considering the mish-mash linup for this game. Roy and Lynch especially were tough for ACU to handle.

Thank you.

I watch the OL and DL more than I watch anything else. Just my favorite part of the game.

Lynch had a great game and I was tempted to ask the ACU qb what he thought, since we know each other, but didn't want to do that last night. He was hurting from the hits .

Lockhart got penetration and a sack.

Roy and Lewis were in the backfield and caused the RB to bounce BU the misses by the LB and safeties angles led to the long runs.

Baylor was missing Johnston at LB, so he may have cleaned those up, maybe not.

I see Marje Smith played and stayed home which resulted in a TFL in limited play as well.

Get Roberts back in the 2nd half next week.

Hunt back at some point.

Thompson back for Duke.

Logan at LB back for Duke.

That should help a bit more.

I understand the want to be excited about the DL since in fact they did look good, yes.

But, I will have to temper the instinct too call them legit.

ACU was a 2-9 FCS school last year.

Does anybody remember the Saluki sacrifice. The Bears looked good against them to.

I will have to see the Bears against a legit opponent before I crown any group legit.

I will stick with, that they looked good and am hopeful they can duplicate the performance against a legit Big 12 OL.
