Matt Rhule Quote of the Week...

“This Iowa State team, they never beat themselves. They find a way to win the game within the game, and then they are a well-coached team. I think Coach Heacock, their defensive coordinator is one of the best in the country. And the defensive stats bear that out. They have great players on defense. [Greg] Eisworth is their middle safety, kind of like our Chris Miller who plays that same position for us and he is a dominant player who can defend the pass, come up on the run. They have Joshua Bailey their nose tackle and [Ray] Lima is just a fantastic player. They have great players all across the board on defense. They tackle, they get off blocks and Coach Heacock keeps you off balance, they always have something new for you, something different for you. They will pressure you, they will max drop. And offensively, Brock Purdy is a special player.”


Baylor’s Key Players

Quarterback #12 Charlie Brewer — Almost every game from here on out is going to be about the quarterback play. Brewer had a great first half performance against Rice but was not great in the second half along with the rest of the offense.

Running back #25 Trestan Ebner — Explosive plays were the story of the first two games of the season for Ebner but last week he faltered. He had seven carries for 10 yards plus one catch for five yards, it was rough.

Cornerback #13 Raleigh Texada — The team leader in pass breakups is Raleigh Texada. I like what I have seen from the junior cornerback but he has not been challenged to this level yet.

Safety #3 Chris Miller — Miller has been all over the field for the Bears this year and he will need to play like that in this game as well. The secondary has not been tested like they will be in this one and Miller will play a big role if the Bears are successful.


Iowa State Key Players

Quarterback #12 Brock Purdy — The leader and key to the Cyclone offense is this sophomore quarterback. Purdy has been terrific this season as he is completing 73.5% of his passes, has 989 yards passing, and six touchdown.

Wide receivers #8 Deshaunte Jones and #1 Tarique Milton — The Bears have not faced a talented duo like this so far this season and the  secondary will finally be tested. Senior receiver Deshaunte Jones came into the season with all of the hype as their number one guy.

Defensive end #3 Jaquan Bailey ​​​​​​ —  Well this season has been quite different than last for the 2nd team All-Big 12 performer from a year ago. He had eight sacks and 14.5 tackles for loss last year but so far this season he has zero in both categories.

Safety #12 Greg Eisworth — The Preseason 1st-Team All-Big 12 player has gotten off to a hot start this season as he is averaging 9.7 tackles per game and has two pass breakups.

Maybe the masses know/anticipate that BU isn't quite there for the better teams.

7 sections allocated for the Baylor Line. 2 are full, 2 others 3/4 full, 1 half full, 2 empty.

Next kicker up. PLEASE.

We have no kicking game, yet we still try an almost-40 yarder? Total crap call.
Self Made Bear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Why even attempt when we know he can't make it?
DanaDane

What happened to the kid from Oklahoma that could boot kickoffs out of the endzone and routinely hit long FG's in warmups?

Brewer back

We're about to find out if Bohanon is as ready for prime time as some of our fans thought.
Self Made Bear

Damn! We wasted 2 downs there
DanaDane
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Wasted series. Gotta start finding receivers other than Mims to target on 3rd down. Always gonna have double coverage.
Jacques Strap
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Drop killed one drive

Brewer on the sideline killed that one.
BearBuck

But a good pass would've gotten the first down there.

"Best in the country on 3rd down." Lol

For the life of me I can't understand Rhule's thinking on RB's. Hasty on the first series, then Lovett on the second series. I think Hasty is the least effective.
